T brakes - what are these?

Post by AdminJeff » Tue Dec 31, 2019 1:03 pm

More from my pile - At first I thought they were Rocky mtns but on closer inspection, no RM logos anywhere. Any clues? Looks to be a mostly complete setup. The drums are the same as on my '21 which has Rockies.

I'm not sure, but the center band anchor makes me think possibly they're Bennett Brakes.
