Hi rpm.
How well do they work?.....well after some 70,000 miles I have not crashed it or had any scary moments due to braking
I have always used the silicone fluid (with new seals all round to start with as a must)....the same fluid has been in for most of those miles. The 948 BMC A engine means I keep up with modern traffic so ok braking not just due to driving around slowly.
This rebuild I have removed the MM master cylinder and all A7 pedals and replaced with a mini pedal box and master cylinders for brakes and clutch with rods that push upwards......thus removing all holes in floor apart from steering column which comes through short tube welded into new floor section....it will have a rubber sealing ring at bottom round bottom between column and floor (old cut off part of round rubber rear light fits exactly).......so no more cold tootsies...aided by 2 speed heater fitted in space above gearbox.
1.25 (or 1.22) inch shoes in cast drums. Rear beehive shoe springs hook onto brackets already part of MM backplates hold shoes against backplate in spite of pull off springs having to go on outside so wanting to pull shoes away from backplate.
Front beehives held by 1/8" split pins which go through hole in back plate......don't really like that, so may eventually weld on bits for springs to hook onto like rears. Have looked into Ford 105E Anglia 1200 method of holding shoes to backplate as a better solution and may change from the split pins later if they prove troublesome.

Back to posting attachment problem.....if only the little red warning box would stay up so I could read it it might give a clue as to what is going wrong.
Have done a scan of page, saved to memory stick, put in computer and dragged document to attachment box but no go.
Also click in attach box then follow - select file, upload...still no go.
Can forum IT magician man do anything about the quickly disappearing red warning box or give further advice?
