New brake linings ? I put woven linings in mine then profiled they to match the drums, massive difference in performance. Not sure what to advise, I take it you are not dragging a shoe ?

Could be connected with the linings, but I haven't opened them yet.
They should be new, but maybe not profiled, maybe oiled? Must check it someday...

There is a bedding in period which unless you have profiled the shoes to match the drums, may explain your woes.. if you can find mynold build thread Richie’s Mk1 (from memory) there was much discussion on there regarding the issues and profiling shows etc etc

Some of you propably remember that there was one "mystery" part in batch of parts from my Mk.III which no one could recognize.
Now I can say this mystery has been solved! I was thinking about the center hole and its purpose and got some idea. Today I proved it by test. Part TL14588 (which I couldnt find even in Chilwell) is new style of blanking board which we are used to see made from plywood. This last evolution is made from steel and apparently used on last types of UCs. Happy to solve it

So, I have loosened both drums for one click and it seems to be working!
We took her for some serious ride in the terrain during the weekend and everything was working perfectly. Also cooling is OK, no more overheating. Very happy! SHORT VIDEO

Another small step forward - rear seats are finished.
