The problem with using a springbrake, for parking, is that they push out, without air. Besides, a T30/30 chamber would tear something up, if you hooked one to a LT braking system. Broken cable, bent levers, or something. That is a healthy spring in there.



Just my $.02.

PackRat thanks for the comment it sounds like you know a bit about air brakes.
Let me clarify that i never was motivated to put a 30/30 chamber in.......BUT it did cross my mind as being very posible!
As far as breakage.............nah! You would just have to make sure that the length of cable and the position of the chamber were set so that the cable is pulled the same amount as the factory pedal would pull it. No big deal there.
