It's all fun 'til someone loses an eye... and calls a lawyer.
I like my brakes but if they start to fall apart in a few years I'd think twice about replacing them. I don't have an exact "break even" point in my head but if I get 7 or 8 years out of them I think I would reinvest in replacements.
Ferm the 248 and 250 are the same, on the backside of some of the plywood in my cockpit it has "248" written in magic marker. '86 must be the year they came up with the 250 designation.
Airslot, I read on the Champion Trailer website that the brakes should go on the rear axle. I worked thru the physics in my pea brain and it seems to make sense, at least for leaf springs. I'm not sure if it would make a difference with torsion springs though. Just curious what the reasoning is for the front axle?
