on the racer have disc fronts & a drum salsbury on the back,brakes are ok but nothing special,
on my road 90 have discs all round & can out brake most hot hatches :wink:

That sounds like the wrong way round, Mike - I'd go for the better brakes on the racer any day. Why don't you do a swap. Put the salisbury on the road car and the disc braked one on the racer - oh and whilst you're at it drop a Truetrac in it! :wink: :lol: :lol:

if i fitted the disc rear axle to the racer i would need to feed it diffs :evil:
where as with the strength of the salsbury dont carry any spares for the rear axle whatsoever & i can live with ok brakes,
also i drive properly using the gears to slow down not the brakes :wink:
well brakes slow you down dont they :twisted:

[bauble]!!
Just been under the 110 adjusting the handbrake, as it wasn't making any difference. And one of the rear discs is well and truly scoured on one side. Just one out of the 4 :( So I'll have to change the rear discs aswell :( :(
When I was washing it after Waddon I checked them, and the pads were need doing but not still had life left in them. It appears while I've been research the Pads etc, I've killed a disc.
Xtremeteam:
you can but the discs singularly though :wink: £15 + the dreaded
ferodo pads are £18 is +v
drum:
Don't you have to change them in pairs??
Decided to go for EBC GreenStuff Pads All round.
