Title: Drum brakes going. Post by: Champ58FC on December 24, 2013, 09:20:32 PM Hi,
Can anyone recommend a really competent mechanic in the northern suburbs of Thomastown ? My drum brakes a starting to grind during stopping :'( I'm also wanting to replace the clutch and brake reservoir to tin ones at the same time. Please help as summer is here and I wanna go cruising with my mate who has an EH 8) Many thank you. Title: Re: Drum brakes going.

Thanks for the offer but I'll need a total overall check and service too. Can someone be kind enough to recommend a mechanic who has enthusiasm to service our old girls ?? I can't drive my FC as the front brakes are grinding but have a mate with a tow truck so distance is no worries at all. Please help ..... Title: Re: Drum brakes going.
