Ramon:You're too much. If you take discussion of brakes not working too well as a
personal insult, you're beyond help. It's typical of you to take offence, and
offer an insult in my direction, and toward many others through the months, in an
open discussion of a mechanical problem.
Any of your personal problems aside, there must be a reason so many people have
worked on improving Sunbeam braking through the years, adapted 4 wheel discs,
tried different pads and modifications. I don't think it's because the brakes are
exceptionally good.
Thanks for your interesting comments.
