Well the brakes have been tested and work well. The handbrake and over run brake remains unchanged. I had to make one change. Mini handbrake cable has springs on the ends. I found out these are to keep the handbrake leaver off and the cable tight. Without this the drums get hot and cause the brakes to lock up. I did about 15 mile test on Friday with no issues. Went down some steep hills breaking hard and no pushing was felt at all. So all in all a result. Not before time as we leave for the Isle of Man Thursday about 250 miles. If it gets us there and back we will see you all at retro fest.
