TB's hand brake
« on: 13 February 2008, 22:39:21 »
So, will it be acceptable this time!

This evening we stripped both sides, removed everything, cleaned and greased everything (with the exception of friction material!) set it all up and even wrote a number 11 on the road!

Good Luck anyway.

Is it worth getting them to check it the other way round in their rollers to see if the other side fails this time? ::)

Did you find anything conclusive, or just strip and reassemble?

Good luck :y

Many thanks again Mr DTM.  The handbrake has tried my patience, almost as much as the traffic on the way up.  Apologies if I was a bit grumpy last night  :-[
