Brakes back on ! Had to shape the shoes with a grinder and paddle disc.. Roasting hot day, boiler suit zipped right up, respirator and visor, and gloves.... Bloody aweful ! Despite this I am still itchy itchy itchy ! Third shower on its way methinks
However the carrier starts, stops, and steers like a champ. !

Chill.
Rich, one thing you need to remember next weeks holiday season, if your carrier catches fire or even blows up your on holiday, keep smiling, relax chill and fix it later, a static display is just as good, don't worry, enjoy the weather, good company. It's just a lump of metal at the end of the day, life's to short to worry, enjoy.

She should be good to go now, it's more a case of paying a disgusting amount of money to get it there... If it went bang and was as you say a static display I would be sick !!!
Not a prize winner by any stretch, but from what I started with to where she is now... She is a winner in my mind :-)

Yeah.... But I did boil wearing it
 when tested it I was amazed at the change in travel for the foot pedal, it was always a given, but highlighted how Knackered the other shoes were.They will need bedding in a wee but as the drums will need to take the high spots off the shoes, they are ni on there, but doing it by hand even though I blocked them back to finish.... There will be high spots.

Rich, run the carrier with the tracks off, in gear, brake and accelerator applied together, this will bed them in......keep an eye on your drum temperatures.
