[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 94486, member: 456"] Is there anyone out there who has the necessary skills and equipment to check that what ClevTrev wrote many years ago? If I remember correctly he found that the pivot point on the standard brake plates was one millimetre too near the centre. Please correct that figure if I am remembering incorrectly. There are enough people who have access to modern measuring machines, and hopefully the skills to use these, so that this figure can be checked and corrected if required. If we can come up with a consensus as to what the error is then I know people who have cast and machined brake shoes similar to the ones illustrated. If it was a simple matter of machining the pivot hole in a different position then I believe that I could organise that. However, I do not want to waste time on an incorrect modification. Over to you. [/QUOTE]
