[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 54949, member: 60"] At Darley Moor Meeting last weekend the scruitineer said "your brakes are marginal" . I did the adjusters up untill the brakes were binding and I could hardly push it along and then he pronounced them OK, I was not worried they were new and had been just been turned to fit in my lathe using safteks substitute for AM4. after scrutineering I loosed them off, and as I expected after one good blast round the circuit and a good couple of pulls at the hairpin they worked a treat. Much has been written on this subject.this is what I do. 1. Do what you can to stiffen up the pivot tube if you don't want alloy brake plates braze a triangle of steel alongside/between the tube and plate 2. Use a good lining and have it fitted to the shoe professionally I use saftek [url]http://www.saftek.co.uk/[/url] their turn around is only a couple of days. 3. Turn the linings to fit the hub use a minimum amount of packing on the pivot faces when turning 4. Always tighten the wheel spindle with the brake hard on 5. Don't overbrake Bramptons:eek: [/QUOTE]
