And with that setup, you aren't likely to lock them up in a panic stop.� The original system, in my experience, will.� Which is not a Good Thing.� Yours will stop way quicker than mine.�
The whole point of this is, when I drove the thing home, dragging my feet would do as much good as the brakes.� Given new lines, cylinders, and shoes/pads, it will be back to how it was initially built.� Not great, but capable of stopping the wheels from turning.� What I'm shooting for here is the starting g point.� Then I can decide what gets upgraded when and how much.� First though, it's gotta all be there and be operative.

I have "excellent braking" with the Jim K. six wheel discs and the Chuck Aulgur Reaction arm system.� I do not have the 1-ton front end, but "just" the Dave Lenzi hubs, knuckles, and "100,000 mile wheel bearings".� On my recent trip I still had car-like brakes in spite of towing a nearly 4000 pound trailer (with electric brakes on one axle).� I could easily lock up all six, but I still try to drive sensibly enough so I don't have to.� It's nice to know I have the brakes to do it though.
