[QUOTE="Howard, post: 20861, member: 271"] Hi Roy I don't know if the brakes are a problem or not to be honest (they weren't when I didn't know any better). I've just got used to two finger stopping with Japanese discs. The MoT tester was very impressed with the brakes, so perhaps it's just retraining I need. I'd thought it may be simple to replace the cable operation with a jap lever master cylinder and a slave cylinder to pull (push) the lever at the wheel end, then juggle the piston sizes to give increased force at the wheel end. I'm not sure that the master cylinder would move enough fluid - disc brake pistons don't have as much travel as drum brake levers H [/QUOTE]
