viking Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 well at least we havent spent most of the bank holiday ******* about with these ******* brakes, more than pleased that my mate has been 4 days on the trot, only a couple of hours each day but thats all thats been needed, so lots of adjustments and lots of testing, 1 failed brake cylinder replaced an by jove i think we have sorted it, brakes better, no longer pulls to the o/s, it even runs a lot better, and we have identified a few of the rattles and sorted then, over all im quite pleased, lets see what Wednesday brings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

four-wheel-drive Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I was just thinking about you building a rat rod it would probably start off ok then you would think I will just rub that bit of rust of or fill that hole in and paint it and by the time that you have finished it will be a glossy show hotrod all shiny and new. :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
