Thank you so much, I have an old 1977 Bus that has this brake set up, was leaking, your video helped with assembly and understanding of how it works. I am about to go fit it back in the bus and see if it works, finger crossed, also if you know where I could order a new one that would be awesome as this ones not in good shape.
I haven't looked for a seal kit for a number of years but last time I did look I couldn't find any. I think most of the seals are orings and are easy enough to find however there are a few bits in there that are possible unique to the valve. You could ask on the Australian classic truck forums on line , or at your old school tuck parts supplier. If you do find a supplier I would be interested to know. Another possibility is a new but different value as a drop in replacement. But this would involve some re-engineering of the mounts and push rods. But that sort of thing causes the compliance clip board huggers heads to explode. Good luck on your mission.

It Works! Thanks again, awesome and informative video, thanks very much mate, you legend, we are on the rd again.
That foot valve is listed for a KM with full air brakes. The return springs for the pistons are different on a KM, the front one being weaker.
Thanks for the info I have updated the description to include the KM series.
@@sb3bedfordbusstuff146 Its for a KM only and not any other model.
This looks the same as the N series that came immediately after the SBs.
Gday bedford bus stuff! Im looking for a seal kit for one of these, any tips on where to look or who to talk to? Located in Victoria, Australia
