[VAC] Re: little snag with the K-H brake controller...

[Robert C Townsend <rctowns@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, after buying a Mouser 50W/1ohm rheostat, and three days trying to
install the K-H into the Durango, I gave up. The principal problem being
finding appropriate 'tee' fittings, complicated by the fact that a brass
fitting had been put into the back of the controller, and had to be reamed
out. I was waiting to re-tap the fitting until i found a useable tee that
would mate to the new brake line, but visits to an half-dozen brake, truck,
and rv service shops, as well as the Dodge service dept. left me tee-less.

Bottom line: I installed the Jordan Research Ultima 2020 in the Durango, and
ordered another for the Prowler. I may attempt to install it into the
FrankenJeepster when the time comes - FJ will have the rear end and brakes
from a '77-'79 Lincoln Versailles, so it should  be more 'compatible' in any
case... ALTHOUGH....i do have an electric K-H brake controller circa 1950
that really belongs in the Jeepster... Perhaps the K-H hydraulic should go
into the '62 Kaiser-Willys 'Forward-Control' 170 that's due here in
August...

Thanks for all the help, though... even if it doesn't help us right now, it
will undoubtedly come in handy in future...
