[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 161551, member: 60"] Interesting Chris With the twin racer the front brake is the limiting factor we are restricted to the original drums but were allowed to fit twin leading shoes this we did by having a thick Cad Cam set of plates made and retained the standard shoes we used the Saftek AM4 replacement lining (is that the same as you describe?) I don't think we could use anything else as after a race you could fry an egg on the plates and Ben suffers from arm pump after a race trying to squeeze the bar lever so longer levers at the brake end would make that worse. Given our power and superb road holding the only thing a modern Manx has on us is retardation. Hey Ho [ATTACH type="full"]52788[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
