Convince me to keep the brakes on my M101CDN........
So I've had my trailer for about a year - gave myself that much of a grace period to get used to the trailer and thoroughly think out any mods I might make. Like many others here I've decided to swap hubs to match the bolt pattern on the 80. However, I don't use the parking brake - partly because I've never been in a situation that I felt I needed it - but mostly because they don't work - they're pretty much shot.
So - as I ponder my upcoming swap is it worth the $$$ and the effort to restore the brakes?? Would I be losing something other than just the coolness factor?? Is the approximately 100 pounds in trailer weight reduction going to make a noticeable difference??
