[QUOTE="Robert Watson, post: 4326, member: 38"] I ran "standard" brakes for almost 20 years with AM4 linings on stiff alloy plates and finned drums, and although adequate for that time I did not feel that with two up and luggage they were up to the job. I was just preparing to go to disks when Vincent Speet's TLS brakes appeared. I an very happy with the results of installing them. As for making the original more effective, in an MPH early on in my tenure as Editor I think --- or perhaps just before, Bert Weisz (sadly no longer with us) laid out drawings to make the anchor pins in a floating arrangement which address the question Pete has asked. Unlike John Webber who kept endless lists with which to cross reference articles in MPH, I didn't, but I just spent a few minutes and found the appropriate page. MPH 632 from Sept 2001 Page 13. Hope that is of some interest. Robert [/QUOTE]
