Ben,
There are 2 different treadle valves and here is what Bendix states:
"The E-10™ dual brake valve (Figure 2) is similar to the E-6™dual brake valve except that a metal coil spring housed inan upper body assembly replaces the rubber spring used inthe E-6™ valve. The use of a metal coil spring (and the upperbody assembly) provides greater treadle travel and, therefore,provides the driver with a less sensitive "feel" whenmaking a brake application. The E-10™ dual brake valve isgenerally used on buses, where smooth brake applicationscontribute to passenger comfort."
So, the question is which one is suppose to be on your bus? I'll try to look that up later. Before I do, Joe probably has the answer.
