There seems to be a few issues on brakes system, I haven't touched calipers etc so as not to create more work at moment, usual slide pins seized an pads worn on one side etc. Am going to strip all front down, arms, bushes etc but as you know not a five min job.
Just wait for call.

Well after last week being a bad one, missing the meet and voyager being scrapped started on L200 today doing bits to it, loose bolts, had a deflector loose, front grill secured better. Will get new brake valve end of week see if I can finally get good brakes at back. And eel weld/patch the back end up.
