M1112 Brake Parts Revisited
Make a note of these three corrections to the M1112 water trailer hand brake article on Pages
14-15 of PS 741 (Aug 14): 1) The NSN for the left-hand brake assembly (the second Item 1)
should be 2530-01-414-9314. 2) The NSNs for the right-hand and left-hand brake shoe kits were
reversed. 3) At the very bottom of Page 15, the two NSNs listed for getting the left and right
parking brake levers are correct, but they aren’t brake shoe kits. NSN 2530-01-414-9317 is the
right-hand brake assembly and NSN 2530-01-414-9314 is the left-hand brake assembly.
