[VAC] Re: Brake Controller?



Greetings Robert!
 
I have just recently tried a brake controller that is fantastic in my opinion.  It is a Hayes-Lemmerz Micro Control #81750 with an optional remote manual control #81751.  Setting up my 1975 Cadillac Eldorado sparked my interest in this controller as the remote manual control is attached to the controller via a coiled wire thus allowing the remote to ride on the seat next to me.  With this old Cadillac, the distance of the reach would make reaching the brake controller unit itself difficult if not impossible in an emergency situation.  This unit has impressed me to the extent that I plan to replace my Tekonsha unit with one of these in my Suburban.
 
Here are two links to information about this unit:

(tells about installation and the optional remote manual control)
 
http://aftermarket.hayes-lemmerz.com/html/micro_control_hd_plus.html
(provides basic specifications for the controller)
 
Good luck with your decision!
