[Fot] Brake pad / shoe poll

[MadMarx]

I use EBC yellow pads in front and Lucas brake shoes at rear.
Does work very fine.
BUT....I cooked several times my brake sealing rings to death.
For this season I have special made brake sealing rings they seem to last.
No dripping brake anymore.

Cheers
Chris

Betreff: [Fot] Brake pad / shoe poll

Greetings FoT



I'm just taking a poll of what brake pads & shoes are being used. I have
been

using the Porterfield vintage compound on the front because of exceptional

initial bite. Unfortunately the last two times I raced the car on freshly
turned

rotors with new pads I end up cooking the pads & rotorsB in a single
weekend.

I'm not ready to throw Porterfield under the proverbial busB but so far I'm
not seeing

anything in the front end or calipers that would cause the problem.

Both times the rotors scored up pretty bad all the way across.

The pads have a gap at the outboard edge of the pads ( top )B and snug at
the
inboard side.

The smell of cooked brakes is present and blue rings toward the inboard
edges

of the rotors. Chunks of pad missing, pads glazed. The rears have performed
great,

no problems. I had to use the brakes so hard over the 15th & 16th I still
have
a prononced limp,

no joke. I do have Uncle Jack's spindles and have a real good pedal, no fade
or kickback.



Thanks for the input,

Jim G.
