brakes set up

Is this Keith Calver's article that you are referring to?

It is also on the Minispares web site but the link to the MS72 partnumber comes up with an error. When researching for the brake set up on my kit I found this article by Dave Andrews that describes how to make an adjustable brake bias valve see link below:-

Cheers Peter

Many thanks Peter

Yes, it was the Keith Calver article I read.

The instructions from Dave Andrews to make the regulator seem straightforward. I'll go down this route I think.

BTW do you know anything about the mysterious MS 72 or is this just a mirage?

I hope my new brake pipe forming tool (Clarkes) can create the single conventional convex flare as well as the concave double flare... :-)

I just want to drive the thing... but its got to be right...

Best wishes

Peter

I made my limiter adjustable some (many) years ago like the article suggests. I use a wing nut to lock the adjuster bolt. I also fitted rear wheel cylinders from single leading shoe front drums. They're vastly bigger bore. The result was that the valve setting was very critical. The reason for the large wheel cylinders was to get an effective hydraulic handbrake. It worked! I now have 2 handbrakes (hydraulic & cable) mounted between the seats with the adjustable valve just behind them making it easy to get at on the road. The handbrakes are mounted one above the other and slightly offset. The hydraulic one is on top for easy access. Both are fly-off.

I think the MS72 must be out of production as it is no longer listed in any of the parts catalogues/web sites.
