REFLECTOR: Re: Brakes

Scott,

That sounds like a pretty decent deal.  With the larger piston, it
should have a marked increase in clamping power.  Add in the new pads
and you're probably nearly as good as a set of Clevelands, but at about
$700 less.

Here's what I have..

Mr. Derrick,
The modification requires you to send your brake calipers to us (the
entire
brake assembly) so that we can modify the caliper housing to accept 1.50
inch diameter pistons.  There are a few components in the brake that
also
get changed.  The conversion is just over $100 per caliper.  We can also
upgrade the linings at the same time for $41.40 for both calipers
(Normally
51.75 for the reline kit and we install for no charge).

We do not need the brake plate (the plate attached to the axle that the
caliper floats on) when you send them back.  We will provide you with a
Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number if you opt to send them
back
for the conversion.
