Keith,

You will have to adjust your braking efficiency due to the lack of front brakes.
I noticed that you will be using a drag factor of.70 I have done tests with fire trucks
and learned, as you may know, there is a reduced braking deficiency regardless of the
number of brakes in use.

You may consider doing some tests if you have acess to a fire truck to skid around.

I was lucky, I am on the Board of Directors for a local Fire District. I got to skid
around several trucks. i learned alot....the fireman havn't learned anything.

get in touch if you want more info.
