How were the drum brakes?
When I first started it was HQ vans and Utes,173,drum brakes all corners, great when they got wet.[bigrolf]
All three on the tree Belmonts.
We used to get them to backfire well going past dams on the milk vat run,out in the country,scare the **** out of the ducks[tonguewink]
Ah,fun and games in the good old days[biggrin]
Goes into recall mode....
Nope I cant recall any brake probs Paul, but there was an occurrence where the tight arses in HO only fitted Michelin somethings, xxxxx's (?) to the rear only, to save money apparently.
Towing a 2 wheeled Trailer & going down German Town Hill just out of Bridgewater & there was always a tight bend (before the M1 existed) to the right. Not sure even today why the front end decided to go off road & hit a tree on the left. Pushed by the trailer I suppose. Wasn't speeding or owt.
Mind you, it did have a new Ice Bank Milk Cooler tank in the trailer & it was a heavy **** trailer at the best of times.
After that, it was Michies all around on the advice of the tyre mob. Never looked back after that & I can still feel the thump of "her" hitting the tree. [bigsad] Shudders.
"She'' was an HR btw.
Apart from the appalling reporting, are we all getting that soft?? Or do people expect that the seas should be like glass because it's otherwise inconvenient?

But the penguins are cute....
Ahh the memories JT,, last time across to Tassie with the van I got the Number 1 parking spot,, first off the boat, great I thought only to have sea spray totally covering the car and van the entire trip. Took the rest of the first day on Tassie for Mrs Pedro to recover from seasickness [bigrolf]
