[QUOTE="Tim S, post: 619386, member: 13449"] Hi Austin - apologies for slow reply. You are correct, I don't have a servo. I've never driven a drum brake van so don't know how it compares but I would say the pedal needs quite a bit of pressure compared to a modern vehicle. It did stop reasonably well if you stood on the brakes, but not as well as the ventilated 4-pots I have now! As far as I know the beam is the same age as the van, but narrowed around the time the van was imported in 2006. The van came from Austria where they don't salt the roads in winter so is largely rust-free as is the beam. The dropped spindles and adjusters were fitted in 2010 and the shocks are newer than that - around 2013 or so from memory. I should also add I put new discs on when I put the refurbed calipers on so they've got plenty of wear left. I have a spare set of pads I can throw in with this as well. Cheers, Tim [/QUOTE]
