Does any one have any tips or ideas how I can improve the front brake ?? on my 1952 clubman 'cos I've nearly worn through the soles of my best boots trying to stop the beast ... the brake is of the single sided type

Have you centred the shoes like it says in the book?

Never done it cos ive never had to yet, but ive read about it and think i need to soon

I enhanced my front brake by easing the trailing shoe, an old tip which made a big difference.I believe there are pics under the photos section courtesy of Herr Spriddler. Very clear and instructive.
