90truckcab · Jul 16, 2012

well, as it was nice yesterday we went out for a drive 30miles in and the brakes started to squeel, not a lot, just annoyimg !,
so i backed them off on the back plates with no joy,
the only ajustment i could get was with the travel on the bar in the master cylinder, so backed it off three threads ish and the pedal dropped to the floor, so out a couple of more turns back and it did the trick

any advice on setting the position of the pedal \ rod travell up properly?

BenTurner · Oct 8, 2012

Mate, this is my first post on this site, ive just read all 60 pages in one go,

fantastic job on this, has been nearly 10 years since i sold my last landy, and ive wanted one since i parted ways, now i really want one haha

congrats again on such a fantastic job!!

90truckcab · Oct 16, 2012

wattfield · Nov 8, 2012

I've only read the first page, and the last couple, but I'm inspired!
I've just started on my own 2a, I don't expect to reach that standard, but I am aiming to use it for our wedding car!
