Skypilot - I've thought about that, but I haven't been to the factory to see how the frames come in. I assume they have brake wiring installed from the axles to the pin box, but it would have had to be dissassembled to get the belly pan on.

Another mystery - there is a red jacketed 2-conductor cable (black & white wires) that runs from the pin box back to the axle brakes. That was where I found the poor wiring. There is also a blue wire from the pin box brake connection that dissapears down into the belly. It almost seems to me the blue wire was the original brake wire, which was abandoned in place and they ran the red jacketed pair at the factory.
