[QUOTE="john998, post: 83355, member: 289"] Have just made up the Bert Weitz mod on an already cut up brake plate and even with only one side modified it is a definite improvement. When you put the plate in with the two nuts slack and apply the brake it is surprising how far out the new pivots are compared to the old riveted ones, this applies to both the used shoes and a new set. Now the question, with the new pivots only being clamped in the plate, especially if left slightly slack to allow the self centering, all the braking load from the shoes has to be taken by the cam. Is this a safe situation? I am loath to cut up good brake plates if it proves not to be a good idea. Thoughts please, has anyone been using this mod for a good period? John. PS, I am that tight Yorkshire man Stuart. [/QUOTE]
