They were damn good brakes Rebel.... that's why.

Just curious Vdust.... no continuity on solenoid? i looked at the piece I have in the second pict and it's definitely something made in house so finding a replacement might be difficult as you may well know. Funny thing is that I know this brake worked in the trans it came out of, but I hit it with 12 volts this am and was not greeted to a "snap" that I thought I would see/hear.
