I have only recently discovered your channel after recently acquiring an older vehicle (Dolomite 1850) and tinkering with distributor / carbs / timing, drum brakes etc etc. Thoroughly enjoy the relaxed presentation, excellent editing, good humour, and I have been catching up with all the content. I love the Morris 1000. My dad got a second hand one (a brown G reg) in 1981 when I was about 8 years old, and I enjoyed watching him tinker with that and fill in all the rust holes with filler(!). I love the sound of the engine, and would love to get hold of one at some point. The Austin van looks excellent.
Nice one! This is a great channel. I have to tear apart all four brakes on my 1959 soon, no MOT (or tax) exemptions in NZ. Sorting some panel and paint work before the winter weather kicks in first.
Always after adjusting brakes center the shoes by pressing foot pedal at a moderate amount , then check again for loose /binding with drum on of course lol.
Thanks for watching, shoes weren’t too bad… the way I drive one good run round would have erased any sign of a de-glaze anyway! I did check the wheel cylinders, but I don’t think I filmed pulling the rubber boots back to check for leaks. Thanks for the feedback!
How can you not subscribe to this channel. Have always liked a good sense of humour with a dose of intellect and knowledge. Thank you.
Thats very kind! thank you for watching and subscribing

Thanks I really appreciate the feedback! Glad this can be of some use/ entertainment as far away as NZ.
I learnt something, that I will have forgotten once I need it. I probably will forget which way to turn from one side to the other...
Thanks for the help and entertainment. Big help keeping my traveler and A40 farina road legal here in New Zealand!

Getting the front brakes balanced so there was no pull was alway fun
Just tight enough. Indeed, in Swedish we say lagom. Not too much, not too little.
Like the perfect front downstairs lady piece.
Really like your channel buddy. Your delivery is magic, dry as a bone. Good stiuff.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed and appreciate the feedback. More coming soon!
Bloody garages, tightened up my wheel nuts that tight my wheel brace supplied with the car just bent the bloody thing lol!
great mate can you do a clutch adjustment thanks thomas and english rose my 1960 1098 minor
I’m sure I can fit that in… I think mine needs adjusting anyway!
I now have a 67 minor. some say the lobotomy was a failier
I thought you would have deglazed the shoes and checked the wheel cylinders to make sure there were no leaks.

You are a cross between John Bindon and Ade Edmonson.
Not heard that comparison before….. But I like it!
