Ian,
Is there someone out there who has a magic brake formula, other than
Mark or Vintage Brake? Any idea what your friend is doing that might be
different than what Elisabeth has already tried?
As I have mentioned before, Vintage Brake relined my brakes with riveted
Ferodo 2520 (front) and VB3000 (rear). I turned the shoes down to match
the drum diameters (as instructed), and since they've bedded in (after
about 100 miles)I've had brakes that come pretty close to disc brake
performance. The only weak link seems to be the replacement brake cable
that I picked up tends to stretch a bit so I am looking for one of the
heavier original ones.
