  App. center of mass on Ulster Rep
Posted by: Erich - 02-11-2018, 08:12 AM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (15)

I don't like the balance of my trailer with the car in it and would like to reconfigure it. Alas, my engine is out so I can't determine the center of mass on my SWB Ulster Rep. Can anyone get me close? I know the tail weighs next to nothing and the engine, G/B, tank and rad add a fair amount of weight at the front, so the center of mass must be much further forward of the rear axle. Can anyone give me an approximate location?

  Brake Shoe Lining Materials
Posted by: Matt_Harnden - 30-10-2018, 09:33 AM - Forum: Forum chat... - Replies (21)

Hi,

I want to maximise the braking on my 7 special for normal road use. One of the items I want to improve and replace are the brake shoe linings.

What experiences have people had with different lining materials?

I’m torn between changing the linings myself (which I have done before) or having them replaced by a company such as Saftek.

Other posts have suggested that the Saftek ‘Green Gripper’ is the way to go - has anyone any experience of this material? Is it worth the small additional cost?

Thanks.

Matt
