My name is Robert Brock, First year of college went to work in a gas station. All 4 of us working days was "Bob" the boss, Bob Jr., Started calling me by my last name to keep me separate.. Within about 2 weeks it had a Y on the end of it!!!! And everywhere I have ever worked there has been several "Bob's" around underfoot and the Brocky has stuck with me.

But that does NOT work when the building architects put the doors VERY close together trying to get as many doors as possible in the least amount of building space!! When I worked for Wrangler Blue Jeans they had some plants designed for 96 wide trailers that when the 102's came out the open doors were actually touching each other..

Mack Mh Info
Brocky replied to BOBWhite's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
BOB #2 when you replace the seals, and probably the brake shoes, Check the wheel bearings close!! Worn bearings will be loose and cause seal problems.. #5 Clean out the dirt behind the pedal then soak it good with penetrating solvent, work it, and repeat several times.. -
Vlad Your info is probably better than mine and I stand corrected!! I had heard the term used in a generic way but Buss bar must have more marine or aviation usage than automotive??

Brocky replied to Whiskymack's topic in Antique and Classic Mack Trucks General Discussion
I think Tony Champion of Rockhampton QLD AU has one of the R800R's that he is restoring?? I saw it from a distance in 2015 and if I remember right there was an article on it last summer in the ATCA Double Clutch?? -
Dan Thanks much for the 320 info.
