M-Series Rebuild installed air brakes on one of their clients M817. Look in the Photos/Clients section of their website. They have photos of the install posted. It looks like they used wedge brakes in front and s-cams in the rear.

Hi,
Yes 73M819 you can mix & match and use the proper proportioning valve, we chose not to for a few reasons:
-We wanted to utilize all Mil. parts for the braking system to make it look as if it was an MWO as well as its great performance and function. We didn't want to start hodgepodging things.
-We didn't want to have the civvy cans hang down like a ball sack and possibly be damaged off road.

I know this is an old thread but I was wondering if anyone has come up with a parts list or part numbers to do the conversion using civvy parts? Like an A to Z list of what you need. Please don’t say you can buy the kit from eastern surplus the prices are way out of my range, I was thinking of junk yard parts, I just need to know what to look for.
