Some.of you may be guessing by now that iv got the 2a off the road for some general repairs due to my posts (I'm sure theres more to come too)
So, yesterday I had it on stands whilst I was replacing the rear shoes due to a leaky cylinder. Did the rear left fine. Adjusted the snail thingy to get it just right. Did the rear right and the wheel keeps locking up after some free rotations or after applying pressure on the pedal. Now I'm guessing 1st thing some of you will ask is about the springs. OK time to be honest. I did have to re-use the old springs for the long ones (due to paddock sending me a full brake over haul kit that looked like it had been returned. And only had all of the smaller springs. Which I quickly figured wouldn't work on the top with the adjuster in the way) but I did check that they were still more than up to the job.
Although just to be sure iv done them right. Top long spring hooks to the backplate and then to the shoe with the horizontal peg. And then the bottom spring to both shoes?
Anyhoo. Ideas anybody?
