Has anyone tried Larry's Oldies; AC brakes for $350 on their "T". If so would you please give us your opinion and thoughts.

Abbie, I think AC are what is on Blake's touring. If so, that was a contributing factor to their crash last year. (A welded tab broke off). If you really want some stopping power and do not care about 'modernization', James Rogers & I are about to fab some disc brakes for BreAnna's and the Express truck. I really like Bill Tharp's Colorado Hydraulic Discs except for the size of the calipers, its mounting location, and how the lines are run. Let me know.

Oh, ...and Happy Birthday!!

Brent-As mentioned before I had sent Larry pictures of the rear of my car and he called today. He states his brakes do not have any welds, that everything is tapped and drilled. From what I gathered, he only sells the rear parts and it is up to the purchaser to provide what activates them. Some hook them to the parking brake, others to the brake pedal. He is sending pictures.
