Location: Prescott, AZ | Looks like that FMC is wearing a miner's hat. After looking at that post I somehow feel moldy. |

Location: Colorado Springs, Colorado | ok, YUCK! This is a transit conversion, no doubt, because the lamps over the front windshield were installed onto the transit marque. Jim Steinborn can back me up, because he converted his after some time.
What a moldy, smelly looking fixer upper. Now I do not feel so bad for asking $15k for ol' #110, which is nearly pristine after looking at this POS |

Location: Victoria, BC. Canada | I gave Gerry - owner of #900-something transit up here in Victoria - a heads-up on this coach and he ended up buying it. He says he's going down to Portland to collect it this weekend. He's in serious need of brake-parts for his coach. Again, we need an alternative disc-brake conversion route for these things.
Hopefully this is helpful to him.

Location: Canton, (Sixes) GA | Some coaches were changed to disc to utilize the 22.5 Alcoas. An expensive and labor intensive operation. There is nothing wrong with drums if they are set up properly. Averaging five or six thousand miles a year, I could never justify changing over. |

Location: Soquel, CA. | I seem to have a hybrid in that my front brakes were converted over to disc by a PO. Rear are still drum. With the exception of a leak somewhere in the system that is sucking air and plaguing me currently, the brakes work great at stopping the coach. Very nice. I have the 19" Alcoas. |

Location: Ignacio Colorado | If you have a donor disc brake coach, the front disc is easy to swap to a standard drum front end but the rear requires changing, or machining the trailing arms to put the disc brakes on the rear.
