A Conversion Kit for air-brakes

[badbillybiker]

Hi... \nIs there a kit or a reasonable procedure to convert these hydro brakes to air?\nS-Cams seem to be the easiest way Treadle valve for the brake pedal. I would\ngladly swap my propane tank and fill it with compressed air...\nJust curious about a remeby for one the weaknesses in the travco\nAnyone done it and documented the procedure?

I would think it pretty difficult. No kits that I know of. It would probably be easier to get axles out of something else. I agree, air brakes are much better. I had considered this myself but of course there are legal implications when you modify a braking system. You would not need the propane tank. Just two air tanks , chassis mounted. remember modern air brake systems use a dual tank/reserve system. Now Old B models...lol ...That was a different story...

Yes on the "B" midels... Have driven a 237 B61 duplex, tri-plex and a uni-shift...\nLooong time ago...Armstrong steering, vacuum brakes... etc,\nWell... what chasis would replace the dodge fame, and just do a body swap...?\nWhen I see a maverick body on a 4x4....

Do you have front disc's? I gotta say that my coach stops pretty well for it's size.\nI think it would be easiest to have an entire donor vehicle and just start swapping axles, brakes system parts, etc. If I ever run across a 5 ton 4x4, that's what I would like to do to my Travco 270.
