I am having trouble with 2 things improving braking with the racer and remembering
Dealing as we have to with the regulations with outwardly standard 7" brakes I seem to recall that one of the things that was done 'back then' was to fill in the gap between the end of the lining face and the end of the shoe with alloy and then fit longer linings turning them for a snug fit.
I cannot remember which end of the shoe it was done to though I suppose it was the cam end nor can I remember if it was both shoes on each respective plate or just the leading or trailing end. I do recall it was one of those things that was wrong in theory but worked in practice.
Any help from those with a better memory would be appreciated
Those of you with disks can ignore my fumbling - unless of course the new EU roadworthy test is enshrined in law without question,Because as written now those non-standard disc's (and many other mods) will cause a test failure :-(
