    Preparing for Norwegian road trip!

    Preparing for Norwegian road trip!

    What is parts availability like in Norway ? If you are far from towns and a week from a spare part life could be hard, but if its all fairly sensible that would reduce the spares you need to carry.

    Drum brake upgrades

    As my other thread today, once I (or hopefully you) have identified whats fitted, I might want to upgrade to bigger and better brakes rather then replacing all the bits needed My thoughts are 3" shoes and drums, Would they fit in place of the existing 2" ? 11" on the back to replace the...
