There's no parking brake cable that goes to the FRONT brakes correct??? I had my drums and backing plates from the Runner sand blasted and machined to use on my Scamp... just want to make sure there's no cable supposed to be there because there definitely wasn't one when I took 'em off the bird! LOL

Also, I swear remember seeing a detail brake shot (shoes and springs) from Hemibeep... can you post that for me? :thumbsup:

No cable to the front. Here is a pic of my front but remember the heavy duty brakes did not have self adjusters and yours should! Unless they were upgraded to 11X3
 
FYI Chris, that is a picture of the RIGHT front. The short shoe goes to the front, just like in family pictures, short people in the front. Or should I say vertically challenged people? :lol:

Hey, that's a great way to remember that, John. Thanks!

Every little memory trick helps...

Nice! Mine are the 11x3's... they look exactly like that.... even have the short shoes towards the front! LOL Thanks for posting. I'll post up a pic of my detailed brakes as soon as I can.
 
Too lazy to dig out the camera...... crappy cell pic....

The spring kit comes with the self adjusting springs and some bent style washers I have no idea what are used for, lol. Also... is it ok to use wheel bearing grease to grease up the contact areas on the backing plates or do I need a special brake grease?
 
You did good grass hopper, it just takes a tiny bit of grease so thats ok Chris.
