Ken,

I think Dave Lenzi knows a lot about them. He gave me helpful advice and had parts numbers for banjo fittings, etc. I was running for the longest time with only the mid brakes on my Harrison setup and was happy with their performance, as the fronts needed bleeding. When the mid brake line broke near the caliper from not having a hose attached, I had zero brakes. I ran into Montgomery, Texas, with only a slight vestige of brakes, and such a slight vestige, that it wouldn't hold the coach on the level at a stop unless the transmission was in neutral. Paul from Nova Scotia was my guru then and we got back home with good brakes. I don't know of another guru around. Like many running those Harrison setups, I like them. I know Jim Bounds does not like them. Stock for Jim or nothing. Can't blame him because of liability concerns, but I think the warranty is expired on the originals and if they fail, there's a green light for 'improvements'.
