[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 94596, member: 49"] David, I suspect you might well be right, especially as those who have done the mod on the otherwise std system seem to be very pleased with the result. However, as much as I understand the apparent logical benefit of a "floating self-centring system", I do wonder if there might be an unintended consequence elsewhere - especially on the trailing shoe? After all, there are whole text-books written on the theory of 'brake drum dynamics' and I don't profess to be an expert on the subject, nor have I the time to sit down and read them! Nevertheless, there are some excellent ideas coming out of this thread. But I would suggest that any testing should initially be limited to a minimum number of variables in the first instance - exactly as you are advocating! Peter B [/QUOTE]
