BRAKE PARTS
HOME HOME COMPLETE BRAKING SYSTEM and UPGRADES- Brake System Parts are engineered for direct replacement or upgrade. It is important to use the best quality brake parts when we are stopping a 12,000 lb vehicle. The Original braking system featured disc brakes on the two front wheels and drum brake units on the four rear wheels. We provide all parts needed to service and maintain the original braking system. FRONT BRAKE UPGRADES- Front brake upgrade involves changing to a larger diameter caliper. This provides additional hydraulic fluid pressure to the front disc brakes. We recommend “Severe Duty” brake pads for additional fade resistance and stopping power. REAR BRAKE UPGRADES- Four drum brake upgrades involves changing the wheel cylinders to a larger diameter to provide additional braking power to the leading rear wheel on each bogie. The trailing wheel retains the original diameter wheel cylinder which provides balanced braking and prevents locking up and “dragging” the rear tires. We strongly recommend “Severe Duty” brake shoes for additional fade resistance and stopping power. SIX DISC BRAKE UPGRADE- The ultimate braking system upgrade involves putting the larger diameter calipers on the front wheels and changing the four rear drum brakes to four disc brake units. Owners report superior stopping power and much greater fade resistance in mountain driving. We strongly recommend “Severe Duty” brake pads for additional fade resistance and stopping power. • Front Brake parts o Disc Brake Rotors o Original brake calipers.
