Nice episode Henry, with a great result!

Thanks Anthony, I'm not happy with how engine is running and strength of brakes, but there is too much travel in the brake pedal before it starts biting. I need to fix this still

Glad the brakes and handling are sorted. I have new discs, calipers, hoses and pads to fit on my restoration project as well so I enjoyed the episode 🙂

[@HenrysGarage]

Glad you enjoyed. And surprisingly few mistakes from me for once

Hi Henry, Those discs looked like they were due for renewal! The brake pedal travel will get less as the disc and pads 'bed in'. Probably a stupid question but did you set the rear brake adjusters when you put the drums back on? That can make a huge difference to the pedal travel. Keep up the good work. 👍

Hi Carsten, I didn't! I'll do that now and see if that sorts it

[@hawkmoon560]

Were the spare bolts for the disc back plate that you didn't change?

Spot on Hawkmoon, that is what they were for. Good call
