Re: [A/S] Braking System



Hi Greg, After $840. you still have used brakes. A complete 
changeover to electric brakes is cheaper and everything would be new. 
Drums, shoes, wiring etc. I can understand some people being total 
purists and wanting to keep their AS original, but at what cost. The 
Disc brake system worked well when new, but they wore rapidly, and 
are expensive to repair. I keep telling myself that Airstream must 
have known what they were doing when they stopped using them. Thanx 
for the info. Arnie
