Nice pics guys, Great seeing it on the road, Ive got to sort something about that red roof though, I look like Noddy driving around! :lol:

Hope you guys got back okay to Exeter, we got back around 6ish to Bristol after a leisurely drive back, it amuses me how close I drive to the hard shoulder.... just in case!! :wink:

It did surprise me how long it took you to catch me up though, I guess you must have had 3 courses in the petrol station?

They were great Nick, 69 bay dual circuit non servo master cylinder mated to 59 front backing plates and drums on stock 51 spindles (4 bolt, not 3), so twin leading shoes each side, mated to stock big nut rears with no compensator. Zero fade and excellent stopping power with a nice light pedal feel due to the master cylinder bore being the correct diameter.

Sorry Steve, the sc had to go into the cash melting pot to make this bus happen, wish I still had it, but you cant keep them all..

You would end up with a harder than stock pedal due to the larger diameter of the master cylinder, not really recommended. Would work though, but wouldnt be a nice experience. :wink:
