Brakes back on ! Had to shape the shoes with a grinder and paddle disc.. Roasting hot day, boiler suit zipped right up, respirator and visor, and gloves.... Bloody aweful ! Despite this I am still itchy itchy itchy ! Third shower on its way methinks
However the carrier starts, stops, and steers like a champ. !

Chill.
Rich, one thing you need to remember next weeks holiday season, if your carrier catches fire or even blows up your on holiday, keep smiling, relax chill and fix it later, a static display is just as good, don't worry, enjoy the weather, good company. It's just a lump of metal at the end of the day, life's to short to worry, enjoy.
Kev.

She should be good to go now, it's more a case of paying a disgusting amount of money to get it there... If it went bang and was as you say a static display I would be sick !!!
Not a prize winner by any stretch, but from what I started with to where she is now... She is a winner in my mind :-)

Yeah.... But I did boil wearing it
 when tested it I was amazed at the change in travel for the foot pedal, it was always a given, but highlighted how Knackered the other shoes were.They will need bedding in a wee but as the drums will need to take the high spots off the shoes, they are ni on there, but doing it by hand even though I blocked them back to finish.... There will be high spots.
