[FC] RE: FC Brake Upgrade

[James Davis]

I really don't think FC's need power brakes.  It is just the proper 
selection of brake shoe lining that makes the difference.  Just look for 
shoes with a coefficient of friction of 0.6 to 0.8 at normal operating 
temperatures.    I particularly like the Portifield R-4S compound.  If you 
feel like you need power brakes, I recommend the ECI remote booster 
system.  I have that set-up on my Ultra Van and hardily recommend it.
