Bristol 409 - Handbrake pad replacement

[Peter Valvona]

Well it's done..................I took an electric sander to the new pads and did my best to replicate the angle that the old pads were worn at.

I don't know how many miles of wear I took off my new pads, or more importantly how many miles of wear is left in them - but in any case it's more than there was on the old pads.

I also worked out how to change the handbrake pads without removing the caliper ..... too late in this case as I took them both off doe a cleanup anyway.

Thanks for your contributions !
