Hi Jim wondered that myself, and how effective the usual "A" frame cable systems are without servo assistance.

Hi, Jim
When the "A" frame is attached and the brake cable connected does the "A" frame's hand brake do anything, by that i mean does it apply the brakes or can you still push toad, as I would have thought that would have been a reasonable indication if the brakes do in fact have any effect when connected without the servo.
I would be interested to know the answer
Thanks

Hi trailer brakes a designed to work without servo assistance and use soft linings, cars aren't, and use hard linings or disc brakes, just try stopping without the servo working, you will need leg muscles like garth.

I guess that would be the only way to access the braking ability Jim, race down a runway and ram the brakes on, not very scientific but would I think give a decent indication. Wife might not be to pleased about all the broken plates though.

Hi, Olley
it would be interesting to know if the cable from the "A" frame arrangements can actually exert enough force to actually apply the brakes that are fitted,

Next time we get an MoT failure on brakes I'll try that John, if it works ill give him a ticket, and dump 20 grands worth of test equipmentcheers Geo......could be interesting :thumb:
of coarse, a conclusive test would be as my rachet strap method mentioned earlier....:thumb:
Reply to Papajon, if you did that ,your servo would be working so you'll get a false result anyway!

Hi papa what would that prove?? that if you apply enough force you can a) break, the brake cable, or b) lock the wheels.
