Hi Everett,
I am not a member of the Houston SS Club. I believe that Jim Dupree on this
list is a member however, and maybe he can answer you.
I think we will be ok on for sale announcements unless they start to get out
of hand.

Subject: [SilverStreak] brake replacement
Hi SS List:
Does anyone know of a source for the new backing plates and brakes for a "85"
SS. I know Ros just made this replacement, but need the source. I feel the
cost of a full replacement is more cost effective than trying to find the
older parts.

Hi Tom and Everett
In regard to the Houston area Silver Streak Club; it is the only "active" club
in the US. It meets monthly at the Coushatte RV ranch between Belville and
Sealy Tx. The next meeting is this weekend, Oct. 17-19. Prior commitments will
prevent us from attending.
Further information can be obtained from Bob Ashby, Club President at
936-539-1692.
Bob, 87 years "young" is known as Mr. Silver Streak and is a wealth of
information about Silver Streaks as he has restored over 100 of them and was
associated with the factory for many years.

Subject: Re: [SilverStreak] brake replacement - electrically activated hydraulic disc brakes?
Has anyone installed electrically activated hydraulic disc brakes on his
SS?
If anyone has, what has been your experience?
Electric brakes are certainly better than no brakes, but they are subject
to erratic locking, application delay, connection problems, sticking,
etc.
A friend has an Airstream with hydraulic brakes that are connected to the
tow vehicle brakes. When he presses on the brake pedal the trailer brakes
are applied immediately in synchronization to the tow vehicle brakes.
A slave cylinder is connected to the tow vehicle brake circuit. This
slave cylinder is attached to a master cylinder that is connected by flex
hose to the trailer brake pipe.
This simple system does not permit independent trailer brake application
nor does it provide for adjustment of the proportion of brake force on
the trailer according to the weight of the trailer.
From what I have been able to learn, the electrically activated hydraulic
trailer brake system does allow independent application of the trailer
brakes as it is controlled by the same brake controller that is used with
electric brakes. If instead of a delay-type brake controller a
proportional controller like the old K-H ones that are tapped into the
tow vehicle brake circuit is used, or the MasterBrake proportional
controller, the trailer braking force is synchronized with the tow
vehicle braking force.
This sounds like a good idea. I want to know if it is in practice. I can
replace the electric brake assemblies and drums for a few hundred
dollars. The electrically controlled hydraulic disc brakes run over a
thousand, so I would have to be convinced that they are worth the
expense.
