I'm SHOCKED that they don't have/include a display like this at their shows... especially when they're doing "retail" shows. It could be pretty simple - with maybe a 1 1/8" - a 1" and a 7/8" and a side by side MC/balance bar set up.

4 cheap adjustable seats - 4 cheap wheels - 4 pedals - and 4 LARGE pressure gauges.... you could run these on a two across or link them for 4 side by side... a guy could sit down press the pedal and see what it feels like and what braking he's getting out of it... build it all out of tubing -- and put it on wheels to roll in and out of their trailers. It might save them a HUGE amount of time on educating consumers about all of this stuff. They could also incorporate in the actual build - how lines should be run - prop valve placement (like - to the rears) so they could show the increase or reduction by tuning it... and they could demonstrate proper pedal ratio too and how that affects the pressure made. It would be kinda cool to see 'em build something like that.
I agree with your previous comments about the read. That's why I tried to lighten the load!

You know, as for the above. Since I happen to have some modeling and design skills and you happen to have some really cool tools and some time...................hmmmmmmm

In all seriousness if anyone has contacts at either of these places, this is a no brainer.
