I know of the aux gearbox dodge, but I have been debating on wether to do this, because the vehicle has terrible brakes even at slow speeds, (air over hydraulics) [like a series land rover only weighing 10 tonnes], some one suggested i do it but never excede 40mph, but....?

Julian,

I hesitated to mention that the brakes are not too hot on effort (air over hyd), one reason why I personally would not convert. The old guy did say, if memory serves me, that he could not get it in to top gear with this convertion!
