I have a model A Ford, which came with mechanical brakes. When new and in proper adjustment, they work OK, for about 1000 miles, then you get to adjust and fiddle with them if you want to stop. In short, they are unsafe.
A lot of the model A guys switch to hydraulic brakes (probably over half of them), using a variety of old OEM and after market parts. This update makes the model A safe in stop situations. I've NEVER heard of ANY situation, where this upgrade was taken into consideration by any insurance carrier, or where a claim was denied payment because of it. The MAFCA model A club is very big on alerting it's members to this sort of thing, and they have NEVER mentioned an insurance problem due to this update.
I think this is strong evidence that the insurers either consider the updated brakes a plus, or don't care, or don't have the knowledge to even know you have done it.
Just my opinion...
Now as to Jim B.'s recent tirade on this, he has probably single handedly modified more coaches than any other living person. He pushes all sorts of products that are modifications. Hec, he will only install a Manny Tranny (425 trans that Manny has modified) in our coaches! I think his real deal must be that this is
BRAKES
But, unfortunately, on this one, he has it wrong. Better brakes make for a safer coach. He has done so much for this GMC community, it's a shame he has resorted to these tirades, but that is just my opinion. And now, I have to go "change my oil".
JUST MY OPINION, NOTHING MORE!
Speaking of insurance, has anyone investigated using assigned value classic vehicle insurance on the GMCs? (Like Hagerdy, J.C.Taylor, etc.) It is MUCH cheaper on my collector cars...
