Re: [MV] M101 Brakes

WHY would you want to go backwards? Or is backing up the reason you want to go electric? Unless you live in a dry climate and/or use the trailer very often, the hydraulic surge brake is better IMHO Robert Anderson 9/3[color=blue]

What I am thinking of doing, and hope to find someone who has tried this, is to replace the hyraulic brakes (and backing plate) with 12" electric brakes, keeping the original hub and drum.
