[VAC] Re: Trailer Brake Aggressiveness

["Weimers" <mweimer@xxxxxxxx>]

No.    I've been suspecting that this is exactly the problem I have
encountered.  I'd say the dealer sold me a set for a dual axle set-up ,
which would be carrying 1/2 the weight my single axle does;  I'd need more
aggressive brakes as a result. I think you have hit the nail on the head!!
Thanks.

I've got some parts ordered for my '63 GT project, so I'll be at the dealer
soon to collect them. I'll ask him about the aggressiveness ratings on his
magnets while I'm there.

Now THAT'S  what I'm looking for!  (You never know when the brakes in an old
Town&Country might give up the ghost, now do you? ;-)

Got the old Cadillac going yet? You have a much more expensive project
getting that one going than I had!  It ought to be "way cool", however!
