While looking through the Bendix Air Brake Handbook I noticed the SB-1 pull type spring brake. It mounts on the other side of the axle from the main brake chamber and pulls on the slack adjuster instead of pushing, as a normal spring brake does. I have heard that there is a problem installing a spring brake on a PD 4106 due to a lack of room. I was wondering if there would be room for an SB-1 on the other side away from the bay.
For more information, see "The Air Brake Handbook" from Bendix's web site. It is in a file that is more than 5 megabytes. It took 45 minutes to download, but having a copy printed out is well worth the effort. It can be found at: http://bendix.com/downloads/air_brake_handbook. Note: there is no www. It prints out to 59 pages with illustrations. When you get to the index, download the handbook .pdf file. Adobe Acrobat reader required. It does not show on my copy of this message that I reviewed before posting, but there is an underscore between air(underscore)brake(underscore)handbook.
