I am still digging that bracket that you made to hold the brake arm. Very trick indeed!!
Thanx Simon,
I wanted to get the tension of the return spring off of the Brake Cam to relieve a binding issue when the steel cam was rubbing on the steel OEM Bracket. A Flanged Ball Bearing seemed the logical answer. So I drew this bracket on AutoCAD and had a friend Machine a few for me. Now the brakes are as smooth a butter and they can be very touchy. It takes alot less servo torque to engage the brakes and if I'm not careful I can endo the truck. pretty cool when showing off for the crowd that always forms at the park..
