LONG STROKE BRAKE CHAMBERS
Posted by Dave from Windsor, ON, CA on April 10, 2008

ARE THERE AFTERMARKET LONG STROKES WITH OUT IDENTIFYING TAG OR SQUARE PORTS…ARGUING WITH AN OWNER OPERATOR TELLING HIM TO CHANGE AND MATCH THEM UP?

Industry requirements for Long Stroke Chamber identification, i.e. square ports and special I.D. tags, were developed over 15 years ago. As a result, essentially all Long Stroke
Chambers manufactured in the U.S. over the past 10 years or so, will exhibit the long stroke identification requirements. However, older vehicles may still carry long stroke
chambers which pre-date the industry requirements. Imported units and some aftermarket only models may also not include the long stroke chamber identification
requirements.
