Many thanks for the response John. I now have good contact across nearly all the face of the discs and have set the centre support bracket up in the vise for some tests, these have been using a spring balance attached at the end where the bolt passes through. With the adjusting nut wound a good way up, and with one arm held from rotating, the pull to initiate movement on the other arm is currently 10lb.
I just need to check that you are suggesting that with this set-up I should be looking for 20lb on each arm. I am a long way up the thread and thought a check was in order before busting either of the star springs.
Comments from any others would be really welcomed.
