Thank you, gentlemen for your contributions and advice on this one, and I am sorry that I have not reported back before now. Unfortunately, a week ago last Monday, I took a tumble in the forest adjacent to my bungalow whilst taking the motoring dog on his morning walk and fell over backwards, cracking a rib a rib on an inconveniently placed tree root.
Those of you who have had the misfortune to injure their ribs will know that this is the most miserable of injuries and it has only been today that I have felt well enough to go into the garage and tackle the comparatively simple task of stripping the front brakes, relieving the leading edge of the linings as recommended and refitting.
Having been to Llanuwchllyn, at the other end of the lake to collect a bag of course mix for the horses as a road test, I can report that the brakes now no longer grab on first application and that the braking performance is ( by Austin Seven standards) excellent.
So, once again, many thanks for your combined wisdom and Happy Christmas to one and all, or as we say in this neck of the woods:-
Nadolig Llawen a Blwyddyn Newydd Dda i chi i gyd!
