[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 83468, member: 58"] Stu Spalding has been using the Bert W. Modification for quite a few years. He changed the design slightly by omitting the O rings and rather than using countersunk screws on the outside of the brake plate he extended the pivots which is now threaded externally and is secured by nuts. He tightens these nuts fairly tight and finds they whole assembly only moves when the brake shoes require due to wear of the linings. Most importantly he also put a brace on the outside of the brake plate between the brake cam boss and the the pin / boss which engages with the lower Girdraulic blades to transmit the braking force. I have never used this mod, just reporting what Stu has done. Maybe he will comment on here once he gets reconnected to the internet. Simon [/QUOTE]
