                      | Matt, basically it allows the use of any drum brake up to a maximum diameter of 230mm. This maximum size restriction is currently being questioned as it seems there were larger brakes available in the period.

                      | Matt, keep in mind that the current limit is 230mm diameter. This may be changed but there again it may not.
 We tried hard to get any size accepted but when we finally got a change it had to come with a restriction placed on it.
 Keep watching the MA website.
