Re: [A/S] 79 w/Excella-Vac hydraulic disc brakes

$840 is Ausco's suggested retail, thats the activator only, you'd 
need a short brake line and a 45 degree(why is there no key for 
degree symbol?) elbow, I posted a picture of a typical install in the 
files section "Install Pictures". If you're planning on converting 
from electric to hydraulic you'd need disc rotors and calipers, Ausco 
recommends the Kodiak setup, they're around $500 an axle......So.... 
$2000 to change from electric to disc complete.

It's a shame that so many A/S folks have changed their disc's to 
electric, I suppose the trailer repair industry in it's ignorrance 
has overlooked the safety aspect of disc brakes, that and not taking 
the time to research other options...wonder why all the cars and 
trucks have or are going to disc brakes?
