Guys,
I just finished the install of the 2 stage Master Cylinder on a 6 wheel disc conversion. While researching brake systems, I am now reading about electric brakes. These systems are installed in many of the new electric vehicles and high end vehicles like Mercedes and Corvettes. They appear to be doing very well.
As heavy trucks are now becoming electrified, it won't be long before they are installed in trucks heavier than our coaches.
We may no longer be limited to 2 or 3 master cylinders which fit under our hoods. Some of the psi ratings are very impressive. I believe the new corvettes have rotors which are much larger in diameter than our coaches.
This is just something I've been reading about and I am absolutely no expert. I probably couldn't hold a brake conversation with most on this site, I just thought it was interesting to share.
I will definitely be following the developments.
Take care all and have a great week,
Tom K.
P.S. Electric steering is also on the road, but the thought gives me the willies.
