[VACList] Re: Disc brakes

[Bill Worden <fantods@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The brakes on your vehicle are manufactured (still!) by Ausco
manufacturing. Caliper parts and pads can be ordered from Berendsen.
Berendsen is a wholesaler, so you need to have the part numbers to
facilitate yur transaction. The vacuum hydralic unit can be rebuilt if you
can find a rebuilder. The unit can be replaced by an electro-hydralic type
for about $800. I( went all through mine when I purchased my excella.  Be
sure to replace the keeper clips that secure the pad retainer pins. You get
a lot of grief if one falls out! Disc/hub units are only available used so
be careful.
