You're right, we're all too thick to understand you. But if you're plan is to put a handbrake Master cylinder in line with the footbrake then it
will fail the SVA because it isn't an independant system.

but it says. secondary. capable of operating via either half of a split cicuit service brake system on at least 2 wheels in the event of failure of
the service brake or power assistance

Just to add my 2p worth, I used to rally cars in the distant past. Hydraulic handbrakes were the norm but, and this is the catch, if there was no
cable backup system, the car would fail scrutineering and not be allowed to start. This was overcome by fitting a dummy cable that went to the rear
brakes but did nothing! (oops don't tell the scrutineers) There was no way of telling wether it was the cable or hydraulics that actuated the
brake.

to dunc, d jenkins ect the idea to use a hydro h/brake is so you dont have to keep freeing off the mechanical part that always seizes up and leaves
you with no h/brake and a long f/brake.

To bass, don't know where you are but here in scotland we have this stuff called copper grease that stops things seizing up and stop working. Try a
word search for it on google. Are you still talking about drums and shoes or leather strap round the axle?

Copper grease has made it to North Nottinghamshire Dunc, just as a point of reference.

Yeh I do. Need the copper grease because of the high operating temperatures, especially after thrusting hard for 6 or 7 hours. Nothing else will
do.
base, as for can't put it there because of the part that seizes up is where you cant grease. Why is that? the only part that you can't put grease is
the friction surfaces, I don't have a clue what you're talking about anymore, are you still talking about the brakes or your tackle seizing up
through lack of use.
Hey hippy, were you at Stoneleigh on sunday? from your pic I thought I saw someone like you at the locost bit that became the locust but on the
monday.
