Okay, I have the Girling brake shoes back from being relined (because of grease contamination), and I've had a new front brake cable made, longer than the one originally fitted. I've had to get a cable made because I've replaced the cams and actuating arms, which put these replacements w-a-a-y further forward than the originals were. I have to cut a bit of excess length off the cable. Is there anything that I need to look out for when refitting the cable, such as pulling back on the actuating arms, like a sort of preloading? I'm familiar with normal full-Girling systems as found on the Ford 8/10, but this Austin system is a bit of a mystery to me at the moment. Thanks for your help.
Cheers, Geoffrey
