The ReadyBrake review indicates that there is "pulley" that has to be installed on the firewall. That's not the case. The actuator cable runs directly to the brake arm from its housing. Only a small mounting hole for the cable housing is needed in the firewall.
That is the trouble with information that was, for the most part, gathered more than 6 years ago. (Gee, has it been that long?) Things change.
At the time of the original post, it was as accurate as I could make it. Before I included a system I talked to a engineer or technician at the company. In most cases, I had discussions with members of this forum who used the system. At the time of the post, there were a few other systems on the market, but I could not get a sufficiently knowledgeable person at the companies to talk to me; thus, there were not included.
Will it ever be updated? I would like to, but there are only so many hours in a day. Perhaps it is time to "cut the thread loose."
BTW, I'm not sure that the pulley system wasn't a little more flexible than the current one. The hole through the firewall seems to require a more precise placement that may not be "doable" on many models.
