For all you WABCO historians out there...... What year did WABCO change from a brass to aluminum builders plate on their engineers brake valves? I have a 6ET system with a brass tag on the H6 and aluminum on the S6. dave irondave@bellsouth.net |

Also valves are VERY interchangeable, so your S-6 may be a much newer valve. nwstaybolt@reachone.com |

That is my expectation Nathan, but how much newer? We have from 1910 up to the Eisenhower administration as potential. dave irondave@bellsouth.net |
