I did see the write up by twinMAN...AND ALSO INSTALLation on P-61 by samparfitt.... Just wanted to know where to get them as they are not listed on spring air website...also are they useable on all the "plastic scale wheel" sizes or are you limited to a certain size...I want to put the brakes on the main wheels..Robart Plastic Scale wheels that are 3 /34" tires and wheels..
Thanks
Thanks
