Hi,

You mention "pedal droop" on your TR6.

Check your front wheel bearing "end play". I'll bet the bearings are loose.

If that fails, make sure that your rear brakes seat fully and are adjusted
properly.

Either way, a very little play in the front or the rears can translate to a
_lot_ of pedal motion. Take my word on this - I have no emergency brake in
the race car, and it's a "real thrill" to come up on a corner and you need
two pumps to get the car to slow down... YEEEEE HA!

Later,
rml
TR6 Guy
