Ursus 385

[gone]

I remember putting that to a local contractors son, whose father ran 3 8011's back in the day (there is one or two of them still around there) and he said the brakes werent as bad as people made out at all, that they probably needed more maintenance than a 188 etc, but once you knew what you were at, they worked away fine.

plus you learned to drive not to rely on them

That about sums it up, they were nearly as good as the early dry brakes on a MF, but needed to be minded a lot more and you learnt never to depend on them.

Anyone know were I could get a decent roof for Ursus 385, it's the white version with handles on inside.

There was also a 2 speed splitter on them under the hand throttle. The brakes just needed regular adjustment is all, leave it too late and they were ballsed up. Most didn't mind them.
