<VV> FC brakes

[Bryan Blackwell]

I'm not really an authority, but we do drive our Deluxe GB (heaviest 
FC) pretty well loaded (kids, dog, car parts, etc.) and I've never 
really felt a need for more brakes once I rebuilt the system with 
Kevlar metallic shoes, new cylinders, and new hardware.  She stops just 
fine city and highway.  Everyone who doesn't have an FC keeps saying 
they need better brakes, but I can lock 'em up loaded so I don't see an 
issue.
