Good evening ,
New to the forum and Austin Seven ownership .
On inspection of the brakes on my 32' RN I found play in the front o/s pivot and cam .
I have since replaced the pivot and brake cam bush but since refitting the shoes and hub now have the situation where the brake lever operating the cam is not returning fully leaving the brakes partly on .
The cam was the original and was tight when tried in the new bush before fitting it to the hub .
The cam was tight to fit but once home rotated freely .
Has someone else experienced this and how do I rectify it ? A case of working the lever back and fore or more to it ?
Thanks in advance ,
Gareth
