Joseph P. Indusi Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The No-Rol was installed on Buicks as late as 1948 or later. I would check around to see if they show the arrangement in a parts book or shop manual.I will check what I have in the next few days.joe, BCA 33493 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matteo bosisio Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Thank you Joe,here in Italy we have lots of hill....and i've got the garage with a long ramp and a stop sign at the end, this device will make it easy on me, trying to turn and get into Italian traffic ( most people can't realize how hard could be get out of a narrow up-hill street).ciaoMatteo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph P. Indusi Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If you bought just the No-Rol control itself without the hydraulic tubing and the control rod and clutch connection, it will not be of use to you. If it is a complete kit, then you should have everyhing you need.The No-Rol control is mounted on the frame in front of the master cylinder. A brake fluid tube goes from the master cylinder to the No-Rol device. At the other end of the No-Rol there is another tube that goes to the block or T where the wheel cylinder tubes connect to. There is a rod on top of the No-Rol that connects to a hole in the plate that actuates the clutch yoke. There is a hole specifically for this rod as I recall. I do not think the cars without No-Rol have this hole in the plate but I am not sureI could not find an illustration of the No-Rol in my Buick books but I will continue to check for you. This was a popular option on Studebaker cars and it was also called Hill-Holder or Anti-rollback.Buona fortuna.Joe, BCA 33493. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mike Hanning Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Hi Matteo,There is a good description of the Hill Holder NoRol device in the sixteenth edition, "Motor's Auto Repair Manual", page 282. One important feature to observe when mounting the unit is to ensure it is level when the car is level. Check this with a spirit level mounted on the two bosses on top of the housing. The control rod which connects from the lever on the device to the clutch pedal must be so set that the brakes release just ahead of clutch engagement. On the illustration in the manual, the inlet port is at right angle to the body of the device and the outlet appears to be at about 45deg. to the body. The book shows the device mounted alongside the master cyl. Best regards, Mike from NZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
