[VAC] Re: Trailer Brake Aggressiveness
Greetings Marc!
I wish that I could help with identification, but since I didn't perform
the install myself I am unaware of how the rating is identified on the
part. I guess that was one advantage of working with a non-Airstream
service facility as they asked my opinion of all proposed repairs which
is how I learned about the rating system. My suspicion is that you may
have been sold magnets for a tandem rather than a single axle which
could explain a big difference as at least in '64 the tandem brake
magnets were 4,000 pound aggressiveness rating.
I suspect that a service facility that works with farm/utility trailer
may be able to clear up the identification issue.
Good luck in solving the mystery!
Kevin
