Hey Phil, have you checked your FTP site recently?
It worked this weekend. Pity you couldn't make it, after the crappy week the weather Saturday was perfect.
Graeme's right more load = more rear braking. There's a pushrod coming up off the diff connected to the lever of the distributer.
The flaw in the system is that the braking distribution is changed as you go over a bump because the suspension moves
The lever to my proportioning valve broke on some potholing section in Africa;all the braking power went to the front, the consequent nose diving of the truck was scary to say the least.
With an overland vehicle whose contents don't change much you can just physically jam it on max (mine's done with a mole grip) and disconnect the pushrod from the axle. It's one less thing to go up and down with the suspension.
Enjoy
Luke
Did you get the brake warning light sorted? The spaghetti described in the electrical manual takes a lot of staring to understand.
