Well it passed it's first MOT with me today
after fitting a new handbrake cable as the other one was more stretched than a stretchy thing, rebuilding one of the callipers and welding up a little set of pinholes in the front wheelarch
got some advisories though...
front brake imbalance 22% - is this is caused by sticky callipers? - is there a rebuild kit involving SS calliper pistons like there is for midgets?
not written down but the man said the handbrake was very one sided, it's the one we rebuilt not adjusting up properly I think. However, it is just the handbrake that's uneven, the rear brakes are fine. Fortunately the other side was performing like a beast, with a higher brake torque on the handbrake than the footbrake, so overall efficiency is a pass at 23%
what's going on there then - as presumably it's adjusted up properly cos the rear brakes work - is it possible to have the handbrake one sided but the footbrake not at the rear?
very pleased with it though. It's going to get some UJs and more valvemaster as a present.
