sorry scrub my last spoutings You need smaller cylinders not lager ones and you have lager drums than me, if you have the larger cylinders fitting the
smaller ones would be a simple cheap fix.

My Altas axle had discs on and to circumnavigate the rears locking-up before the fronts, I chopped half the friction material off the pads so the
contact area was smaller. Can you munch some off the shoes or fit narrower ones?

@neilp1 - The hose I used was from either CBS or Europa at Stoneleigh last year, I can't remember which. It is the canvas-type stuff with a
wire-wound inner, no markings. I am waiting on a call from the tester to clarify whether he needs marked pipe and/or paperwork to state it is fit for
fuel use.
The stick-on cable tie holders are a defo no-no I'm afraid. He said that they are liable to 'weather' and come off over time.
@owelly - I always thought that discs were much better than drums hence discs on the rear of mine would make the matter worse?
I see what you are saying about 'adjusting' the brake shoes on the rear, but am worried about reducing the performance too much so it
fails the brake test on serevice brake efficiency at the rear?
I am also going to speak to the tester regarding using bias valves and the rulings as they interpret it on using disabled 'adjustable'
types.

If I remember my tech days correctly, “Friction is independent of surface aria ” The size of the brakes is more to do with wear & heat dissipation
than efficiency , for less efficiency you need less pressure, either a regulator or smaller wheel cylinders.

Hi René,
Thanks for the offer, but I need 57mm ID and that looks like the stuff I already have so they would probably not be happy with it anyhow.
Cheers

So when running the loom across grp, such as under the wheel arches to the rear lights, how do you attach the loom to the grp? Don't want to
rivet through grp panels.

I used Tigerseal to stick the pads to the inside of the arch then tie-wraps to hold the loom. Works a treat, it ain't gonna move

Hi
Did you get any feedback re bias valves and IVA?
My car is pre IVA and I have fitted an adjustable Willwood Proportioning Valve on the rear brake lines, after reading a few posts on here I was
looking at removing it before the IVA, but obviously due to rear locking I would rather leave it if it is IVA compliant if locked!!
