minivin Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Might have the shot brakes theoretically sorted on the front by this evening, I have a cunning plan and another bit of TI Console bling maybe coming into fruition.

Jon White Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Just to inform, that my truck, once being the pride of all the local biker friends of mine, for the transportation of my classic racer to racing events, is now a dented, torn, muddy mess Er Rob.........I hate to say this, but from the piccies I saw of it when you'd finished it, it had dents in anyway from the army!!! How many more dents have you actually added?? Dont tell me you're getting soft now about it getting muddy........ As to the brakes........welcome to the joys of non-self adjusting drum brakes.......clean them out and re-adjust is all you can do - that or fit disks!

Jon Yeah those blooming Pongo's, 6" gash in the side of the tub that had to be rivetted closed If all goes well, discs on the front will be nearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Jolly good - you'll need a bigger servo too dont forget. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon White Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yep - series master cyl bolts to early 110 servo, but you need to use the entire 110 pedal assembly. You need to get the early one, as its smaller diameter than the later ones. Later one will fit, but you cant close the bonnet (guess how I know!). So unless you want to put a defender bonnet on it......... Think i paid about £5 at sodbury for one. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 a series servo will power them ok, but early def is much better imo, will require a little bit of trimmin of the inner wing though, it moves the master forward by a couple of inches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minivin Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ah kay, will run as is for the moment if I get to go down this route, and think about it in the winter when there's less to do and more time to play with spanners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
