I did not install front (S-cam) air brakes on Quicksilver due to absurd cost. Most 10-wheel tractors do not have front brakes either.
But what is being proposed in this post gives me the willies. First of all, if someone rear-ends you and their underwriter finds out you disconnected your front brakes, you is screwed. if your underwriter discovers it, they will most likely deny a claim then deny coverage. Goodbye everything you own. A lawyer would have a heart attack due to ecstasy in a courtroom litigating a case against you. I went through hell with Quicksilver over this with my underwriter. I had to PROVE that chassis was available from the manufacturer with the same type, brand and configuration of brakes I had retrofitted.
If authorities find altered or modified or disabled brakes you in a heap o trouble boy. Please keep it in mind. I exaggerate not...
