[diesel_mercedes] Re : Ponton Dual Leading Shoe Brakes

 

I dunno ;

VW's trucks from 1952 through 1970 had them too .

Old Datsun trucks had them , I remember lotsa vehicles with them when I was a Gas Station Mechanic .

Properly set up , they work a treat and halt your rig RIGHT NOW with minimal foot pressure .

The Datsun's brakes however , gave me fits and never stopped very well .
