Just about there with the brakes system... I have noticed the near side is still dragging, I went to put the gauge back into the bell crank to find it way off the hull... The only thing left that would do this is the short linkage rod that runs horizontal under the gunners feet. I have withdrawn this from the system and it appears that one set of threads is shorter than the other. The entire rod measures 24" exactly. Is this correct length ? I remember Shaun asking if it was original at the time we first bolted everything up, as he was not happy with it. On a plus side the drivers side works perfectly, just starts to catch at 90deg with then nipped up full when full lock applied... Zero drag on release.
