Smoky said:The M&G is a great system and we tried to go that route. But we found that with our Spartan chassis, that Spartan would not honor their warranty if the M&G were installed without their special $300 conversion. This is a Spartan conversion, not supplied by M&G. When I looked into it, I concluded it was an unnecessary complication and reduced some of the benefit of the very fine M&G system.

Spartan will not honor their warranty if you use the M&G brake only on those parts that fail due to using the M&G brake. There is no unnecessary complication, I have traveled over 65.000 miles with the M&G connected to my Spartan chassis without the Spartan kit.
Regarding Remco conversions for your toad, ask if you can get the axle lock. This is a newer technology than the lube pump or the cabled connection. We had the axle lock installed on our Taurus and it has been flawless over a two year period. It takes two seconds to activate or deactivate.
The axle lock as well as the lube pump and drive shaft disconnect are all designed for specific uses. The axle lock won't work on my 4x4 rear drive, for example, but the drive shaft disconnect won't work on your car. The drive shaft disconnect is not older technology. It too only takes a couple of seconds to activate/deactivate and I don't get my hands dirty sticking them behind the wheel Farmer needs to talk to REMCO as to which method works best for his vehicle.
