Hi, finally got around to seriously addressing this problem unfortunately I am at square one!? It must be the gauge, it did move a bit lower after a cold trip using more propane than usual.? Called

Re: Rear Brakes?
Thank you everyone for your ideas, keep them coming! I am sort of leaning
towards glazed brake shoes, thus wanting to replace them with something

Re: Rear Brakes?

Re: Rear Brakes?
I've seen some bypass and removal video's but they either wouldn't be enough or over complicated. Most do just what you have already done.

Re: Rear Brakes?
Linda, I should have said that I disconnected the actuator arm and blocked

Re: Rear Brakes?
I used to race SCCA and we tried to use DOT 5 silicone brake fluid as you mentioned and it is great for ultra hi temps and will not absorb any water which could cause corrosion in your brake system,?

Re: Rear Brakes?
When you say blocked the proportioning valve what do you mean. That valve needs to be completely open.

Re: Rear Brakes?
You might consider having the brake shoes modified to match the brake drum... There are plans that do this... They need drum and brake shoes... They are not as common as they once where... Iv hear

Rear Brakes?
My rear brakes leave something to be desired. I can lock up the front

Sunrader Tail Lights
A few tips.
An LED flasher must be used with LED bulbs or they won't flash, they will
just stay on. An LED flasher will also flash conventional bulbs so you
don't have to change out your front bulbs

After looking at the stock original tailights, even if I could find new in
the box originals, I wouldn't want them. They are poorly built with not
