That's how they work. The cutter brake is an addition to the rear foot brake system. |

you plumb 1 brake line from the master cylinder to the cutter, then 2 seperate lines going to each rear brake. any yes you can do this with drum brakes |

You are going to get a lot of different opinions.. I personally feel that CNC is the most popular. I am not saying they are the best.. just the most popular. In addition to the brand, you will need to determine if you want a 2 handle brake or a single handle brake.. |

Yes... I do not think a steering brake will work with a Drum Brake. I think you will need to have the disc to actually stop the wheel. I also recommend a 4 piston caliper or you will not be able to stop the wheel. I used Jamar but most people use the Willwood calipers |

I use to have drum brakes with my cutters and they worked fine. The only difference is when you run though water you loose most of you braking power for the foot and the cutters. Switched to Nissan Sentra single piston calipers and they work great and the water does not affect them. Keep in mind I have always ran a 29X12.50X15 tire. I will be changing over to 31X15.50X15 tire. However,I have seen several others running the same Nissan Sentra caliper with the larger tires though. Huey |

i think they come in 2 different bore sizes the bigger bore would probably be better with the drum brakes |
