Hi,
Jeff has finish his rebuild, but not happy with the brakes.
When, Jeff bought the bike, it had hard brake linings, metal wire in the brake lining material.
Brake's where not to good, Jeff has done a lot of work on the brakes.
Bike has shadow ribbed drums, Roger Slater, black lightening rep brake plates.
Welded up the scallops in the brake shoes and fitted longer soft linings.
Skimmed the the brake drums, skimmed the linings to the drums
Heavy gauge brake cables, bridge on brake shoe pivots, to stop flex.
Front brake, has extended brake cam arms.
Rear brake very poor, front brake just usable around town, at speed watch out.
Vincents, where said to have good brakes, what to do next.
Brake's,are squealing a lot the moment.
Thanks, Eric.
