Removing mechanical brakes and installing juice brakes is CHANGE.

Going from an outhouse to an indoor toilet is an UPGRADE!

Thanks Will ...

Just did what they told me to do ... like so many others!

I wish to thank all of those who were always willing to step up and do what was needed when the well known substance hit the fan ... so that so many of us could go home!

We got "incountry support" and from other bases outside of Vietnam.

And it goes without saying thanks to those who gave there lives and limbs so that most of us could go home.

If you need two holes at the same time I would think it would be a up grade. If you only need one it would be a change.

Some times hyd brakes are a down grade.

Change is change, upgrade is often in the eye of the beholder.

Regarding the "two-holer"...it all depends on if the second hole was made by your foot going through the floor, or not. Trust me...that ain't high on my list of "been there, done thats"... Sure ruins your weekend!

I don't want to sound political but in the next election I think we should vote for HOPE & UPGRADE.
