Kenny, are you talking swapping axles or just The actuating systems?? You could hook the air diaphram to the existing Duece master cylinder and then plumb the emergency line to the tanks on the 109. Then it would be just like pushing the petal with your foot, but you still would not have split brakes. The 105's don't have an airpac, so would the 105 system have as much braking power as the Duece system?? I can see the advantage of doing away with the airpac if the brakes are just as good.
Mdmorgan, if you do away with the airpac I would be interested in buying it if it works or is rebuildable and you don't want it.
I don't see the point in the extra work to swap brake systems, even if it would be better. The original brakes would stop the 109 fully loaded and it will NEVER see that much weight again, I would have to destroy another 105 trailer and I don't like the idea of tearing apart good equipment, I have split brakes on my deuce so the backup is there, and i'm going to go through both brake systems and do what maintenance is required to make them reliable.
Now thats just my take on it, i know you guys have been doing this stuff alot longer than I, so any suggestions are noted, and please don't take offense if i don't want to or decide not to do something suggested.
