Hi ALL,
I installed the Kantomatoe 4 Rear Disc Brake up grade.
My new P30 M/s had no rear Brake output ,in the mean time ,I ordered a new
one from Napa
I put the new OEM M/S from last year in, maybe it will work.
It did have over 1500 Psi ,but ,I really didn't like the braking action.
I removed the OEM and installed the new P30 ,it had no output on the front
,so I order another one.
The new one has 1,000 PSI. ,It worked pretty good but not grate.
I enlarged the opening in the Combination Valve to the same size as the rear
brake line.
Now it works good, I can plan where I'm going to stop .
I can make the wheels skid at 35MPH ,if I get aggressive.
It now ,stops like my Sting Ray.

Paul, you will like the new 4 rear disc setup. No more having to anticipate the stops. We have the reaction arm also but I know just getting the discs will be much improved over the old drums. I think the setup we got might be the best improvement we have done on our coach. I love stopping like a car.
