Trail, "Trailing" Braking..
What do you think..??
A kit that allows only the rear brakes to be used, or applied, until such point is reached that they become inadequate for the total braking level required by the driver.
Upon brake application the brake light switch would be used to cause the activation of a relay that would lock the two front wheel brakes' ABS/Trac electric pressure apply/release solenoids into the release position. The relay would remain engaged until such time as the rotational rate of the "braking" of the rear wheels results in the onset of ABS activation. At that point the front braking control relay would be disengaged and thus front and rear braking would now be in use together until such time as the brake pedal is released and then re-applied.
Anyone see any shortcomings, fallacies...??
