[VAC] Bubble parts



Hello all.
 
After talking to Inland RV about electric brakes, their charge for "loaded backing plates" was $88.20 each.  An armature plate was $85.00 each.  So the setup for both wheels is $346.00 plus shipping.  My local Henderson Wheel & Supply company will sell me a complete new axle, springs, electric brakes, and drums, for $350.00.  This seems like a no-brainer to me.  But perhaps someone would offer a word or two on the subject.  If I do this switch, I will have, for those who are wanting to stay truly original, an original axle, complete with breakaway master cylinder, drums, etc.  Ping me offlist if anyone is interested.  I also need to get rid of a pair of Airstream wheels.  They were on my Bubble,  but are from a later model Airstream.  I can supply a photo if anyone is interested.
