[Fot] brakes

[Rob]

Thanks    I could not get comfortable with the set up  It seemed that it could
move out of bias just from shifting back and forth but the movement does not
effect bias change  and the float allows the master push rods to move with out
binding  which a fixed spherical bearing could  cause .       rob

  By the way, should you manage to do this, the failure mode I found is no
brakes at all.

    Carroll Smith put the Circlips at the ends of the tube in the brake

    Lola,chevron etc have driver adjustable balance bars and it is poassable
to
    screw the brearing out of the tube.

    Titon system use loc nuts ether side of the pedal. If you get the driver
    adjustable set up and remove the nuts, the taper on the balance bar
"should"
    prevent the bearing from coming out of the tube in the
    Pedal............provided all is set up correctly.
