If I load the back of my Bus with beach Sandles, will that stop,the back brakes from locking up?

| Ray, get help. You've gone over the edge. These are 40 to 50 year old antiques where people point to something in a photo and say, what's this? Then someone says that is what is left of an old beach sandal that melted. |
So...I see. Even though people in this very forum....are content to take a burned out wreck and spend 20 years painstakingly reshaping back to original with hammer and dollies.....you/they cant handle a little testing with a pair of cones on flat piece of parking lot?
You have people here spending $$$$$ and years to have NEW rubber made for brake calipers, new bolts that are not available......new upholstery that is sewn from scratch.....trying new wheels with adapters from other vehicles.....new engines WITH watercooling.....from Japanese vehicles....and spending $$$$.....people using hammers and a torch to drive out and replace ball joints....working with pressurized gasoline and sparks.....building their own millivolt sensitive wiring harness from scratch with,$65 worth of Chinese tools ....................and more importantly.....most importantly....people using totally different aftermarket calipers and master cyljnders .....and STAINLESS BRAIDED lines.....and making and bending their own brake lines.......and...making seat belt extensions and swapping in seat belt parts....and using freaking drop spindles (those out of all of these should scare the shit out of you)......for DECADES.....without a huge rash of deaths and accidents......
And.....the brake companies have sold MILLIONS of adjustable regulators in thousands of designs....for the better part of 75 years.....
......And you somehow have this hilarious belief that the thousands of above owners can't handle a fairly simple afternoon of testing.....that comprises:
1. Drive bus 100 yards on stone cold brakes in straight line on flat level ground...reach 35-40 mph....punch/stomp brakes as hard as possible and instantly release...
2.ask assistant if the rears locked
3. Turn knob....wait till brakes cool ....repeat.
4. Drive bus 100 yards in 2nd gear at 20 mph with foot lightly on brakes until temp gun says they are hot
5. Repeat 1 through 3
6. Try higher speeds
7. Advanced test with bus loaded and unloaded
You are saying that bus owners are ok to do all of that meticulous, time consuming and dangerous work listed above.....but are too retarded or slow witted to do a little testing and turn a knob with no more equipment outlay than a $20 temp gun.????????
So....I guess you are saying that bus owners should ONLY be content to drive these vehicles until the FACTORY ONLY spares.....all run dry....and they have no brakes.....so they cannot be driven.....and then well.....thats all she wrote.....time to scrap the bus.......no more parts....and we are all too stupid/timid/retarded....to do anything else.....and its just far to dangerous to attempt. Is this what you are saying??????.

We approach life differently Ray. I simply bought a new one from VW, installed it, and it works fine.
