Hello all.
I managed to get ahold of a copy of Wally
Byam's book, Trailer Travel: Here and Abroad. On page 75, he
mentions "hydraulic brakes that are hooked to the hydraulic brakes of the car,
and the brake pedal controls both car and trailer brakes." I have heard of
this type of braking system, called a "Stromberg tow car kit." I have been
unable to locate one in my area. Does anyone know where I might locate
one? I would be interested in hearing any pros or cons to such a
system. I have a '57 Bubble, and I tow it with a '57 Chevy Suburban
Carryall. This hydraulic brake system seems to be a good way to utilize
the existing hydraulic brakes on the trailer, which appear to be in excellent
condition. Otherwise, I will be forced to go with a different axle and
electric brakes, with the controller in the truck cab. Any comments
appreciated.
