[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 89816, member: 58"] What clevtrev discovered a few years ago is the machined surface of the brake shoe that the lining attaches to isn't running true to the brake drum. His conclusion was the shoe pivots were 40 thou out of position. When I made my twin leading brake I actually mounted the shoes on the plate and then machined the shoe from its raw casting. I don't know if this was the correct fix, but my brake has no sponge in it [U]at all.[/U] With the std Vincent brake plate & shoes it had the usual sponge feeling. I did not change the brake cables, balance beam setup or handlebar brake lever. Only the brake plates and shoes were changed for the twin leading ones and the sponge dissapeared. So from what I found the sponge feeling was inside the brake plate/ shoe assembly. Maybe Trev will explain more about what he discovered and his potential solution. [/QUOTE]
