Default Hydraulic brakes

Australian LP1 Carriers were steered by two tiller levers that operated two master cylinders for two track brakes which controlled steering and stopping. No track displacement steering was used on the LP1. This constant use of the rear drums on sweeping curves meant even adjustment and wear was difficult to attain and stopping in a straight line at speed nearly impossible.
