Supplemental Braking System Recommendation for a Vehicle with Manual Brakes
Question:
I have several antique International Scouts, 1963-66. None have power brakes. Is there any brake system available for flat-towing them?

Expert Reply:
We have exactly what you will need. I spoke to my contact at Roadmaster and he informed me that you have two options depending on the braking system of the tow vehicle.
Either you will want part # RM-9060-900002 for if your RV has hydraulic brakes or part # RM-9160-900002 for if your RV has air or air over hydraulic brakes.
Both of these systems come with a pressure reducer that allows you to reduce the pressure the braking system will apply to your Scout's brakes so that you can fine tune how much braking your towed vehicle will apply.
