[QUOTE="fogrider, post: 177704, member: 2655"] Re Davids' photo of a brake assembly what a brilliant set up. Stiffened ally backplate, superior shoes, the works ! I did'nt know such a brake existed. They are clearly a leap forward in eliminating many of the old flex and sponge issues. Re the centre of the linings, I can't find my reference as to the 90deg thing, but David quotes 90 from the centre of a line between pivot and cam. I am referring to 90 from a line between hub centre and pivot, that is a much different lining centre and accounts for the difference in lining location. Where the hell is the reference I have for that ? I'm trying to keep my B as original looking as I can, ( to honour the previous long term owner, RIP J.B. ) which leaves me with standard 7" drums and an unsupported balance beam - hence my need to wring every last ounce out of the original brakes internals. Some small external things might end up visible, but that's inevitable. I have decided to leave the pivot pins alone, except for the stiffener, but I must say the Bert Weitz mod is a rather good idea. I'll hold that one in reserve. [/QUOTE]
