Good work John.
Another couple of weeks for me, hopefully.
Local Roadworthy testers have used a 'Donner' car for brake test

Cracking job!.. Well done Lad!!
Actually, a Series Landrover with brakes in good repair should have no issues meeting the specified braking performance. Without a booster the swb will require higher pedal pressures, but they still stop pretty well. Unloaded, the lwb is even better due to the two leading shoes, but can be a bit weak going backwards.
However, if you are used to driving modern cars and using brakes a lot, you need to be aware of two shortcomings compared to today's brakes.
1. Particularly when at maximum weight and/or towing an unbraked trailer, it is very easy to induce brake fade, especially on long downhill stretches.
2. Driving through water deep enough to get significant water into the drums will stop them working almost entirely until they are dry. After driving through water, drive with the footbrak on lightly until you feel the brakes start to bite.
