Re: [VAL] Re: surge brakes

An interesting system that I had installed on my '65 Streamline motorhome to 
operate the hydraulic brakes on the '65 Mustang toad that I pull behind it 
relies on air.  The system is the M & G braking system marketed by M & G 
Engineering of Athens, Texas.

The tow vehicle is equipped with a small air compressor and tank which 
starts up when the ignition switch is activated.  The two vehicles are 
connected with an air hose.  Braking of the two vehicles is similtaneous, 
and works very well indeed.

I don't know why it wouldn't work with a trailer equipped with hydraulic 
brakes.  See details at :
