Re: [A/S] towing without brakes

[robert8956@xxxxxxxx]

When I bought our '66 Trade Wind and pulled it home, I "direct wired" 
the brake controller and a wire from the negative side of the 
battery, down the outside of the pickup to the appropriate wire on 
the A/S (the negative is white... probably yellow from age) the 
trailer.  I used a couple of red "wire-nuts" aquired for the purpose 
(from Home Depot)and eliminated the old A/S plug. (daylight towing) I 
then found the brake wire and connected it, also placed two 
red "flags" on the rear.  For the first 4-5 stops, the brakes didn't 
seem to work, but then started to work better at each application 
there after(rust on the drums).  I pulled it 82 miles with lots of 
caution and no problems.
