[VAC] Re: Hydraulic brake controllers



Hi All,
 
I stopped at Restless Wheels, Inc. in Manassas VA a few days ago and asked about hydraulic brake controllers.  The answer was that it's illegal to break an ABS line to install a hydraulic accessory.  Guess that's the reason there aren't many shops that will install them or have them in stock.  No probem with non-ABS equipped tow.
 
So, for those of you who can't find an old K/H hydraulic, here's a source if you got the bucks.
 
                     Warner Hydraulic Utility Brake Control #1300-76 for up to 4 axles.
                     Built in resistor pack - $190 (special order).
 
 
The unit is intended for non-ABS trucks!  Possibly a dealership that deals with heavy truck stuff would have these in stock.  Pricy, but if you gotta have hydraulic .  .  .
