KB series Furthur Bus

Long time reader.. first time poster.. I am one of the mechanics getting KenKeseys Furthur bus ready for a 2 month roadtrip this summer. We are working on wheel cylinders -(Bendix 6165 18L from casting or Raybestos WP-120}? and brake shoes( Warner 1238)? right now but the numbers are so old they don't cross reference any newer numbers at the brake parts houses. Would anyone know who could cross reference these or actually where to find these parts? ..https://www.facebook.com/furthurbus50th ... 64/?type=1 any help on this and 1939 D-50 parts is needed.. thanks for now..rt

You need to reach out to Scottso. He's our resident parts wizard.
Good luck!
For Goodness sake send us pictures of the D-50!

isn't Further #1 the D series rotting in a field?

you working on #2 the KB right?

Brake shoes can be relined by any brake supply, I deal with http://www.brakeandclutchsupply.com/index.shtml they are in Tacoma Seattle & Everett, I'm guessing you are in Portland area?

scottso is your man for parts,

Here's someone may have what you need:

LMK if I can help. I'm on vacation for the rest of the month and live just a couple miles away from this guy. Can check it out, pull parts, ship- whatever.

Further is driving around in NY city right now, so they must of figured it out.
