I have just read through Falcott's thread on this subject and found myself increasingly embarassed by my lack of understanding . I didn't used to be this dumb but I can only plead advancing years.
My RN (October 1932) that thinks it is an RP was modified back in the mists of time to have a Semi-Girling front axle complete with the revised the cross-shaft, but it has a standard 1932 rear brakes. I am not sure how I should ensure some compatibilty but it has seemed to work OK in the 7 Years I have had the car.
My question relates to the discussion in Falcott's thread about the angle of the lever on the front. A couple of people have commented that the levers are set to far back on my car and that this reduces the effectiveness when braking. I can see that that makes some sense?!!?
Please can someone view the attached pic of the offside S-G front brake and give me advice. The hand-brake is fully applied. I am happy to replace the cable etc. with adjustable type and will be fully servicing the system.
Any advice welcome - I hope everybody is well and making use of the good weather.
Cheers
Dave
