According to Revcon owners the stock brake system does a fine job of stopping the coach.

Other than the MC and the rear brake shoes, it uses all Toro parts, including the proportioning valve.

Does the GMC use the same one?

The Master cylinder is an orphan, hard to source and expensive. i think mine may be bad. I'm considering either GMC or P30 MC.

Maybe an adjustable proportioning valve?

I know people are reluctant to give advice on re-engineering brakes.

My thinking is that if i install parts made to stop a similarly sized vehicle, and if it works on a test drive then there is no reason not to trust the result long term. Any flaw in that logic?

thanks
