Dr. Feng I just read your post on the net concerning brakes and on the kr2 retract system and seen my name listed as someone to contact concerning info about it.
Yes I converted the original drum setup bought from Rand Robinson to full hydraulic differential rakes while maintaining the ability to retract the gear. I bought Matco disc brakes that easily fit on the existing wheels and they didn’t cause any interference problems with the retraction of the gear. I bought these. Brakes from Aircraft Spruce out of California. I used “grease gun flexible hoses, bought from NAMPA auto for the brake lines from the pedals to the rotating spring bar. I have had NO problems with the set up since installed back in 1992. The grease gun hoses are rated at plenty of pressure to hold brake pressure and were very reasonably priced (under $20.00 for two). They also are available in se wrap different lengths. Let me know if more information is needed.
