Hail fellow Loopers,
Sadly, both of the mounting hooks on the bottom of my left side cover
have snapped off. What is the best way to fix this? Is there a way to do
this with out ruining the paintjob? I'll braise if I must, but I'm
looking to share your experiences. By the way, the riding weather in
Washington, DC is primo. Too bad I have to work...
Many Thanks,
Noel McCormack

Thank you Tom!
Actually, many people told me it was normal my drum brakes would not
stop well
when I mentioned my braking capacities - that it was a critisizim of the
bike
(too heavy for its brakes) when it came out. So I thought it was normal
and
just was got used to keeping my distances and slowing down well ahead of
traffic lights.
However, this summer I was riding with another eldo and he did an
emergency
stop. He was ahead of me - good distance - we were going around 45 mph.
I was
not able to stop, a car was behind and there was an obstruction on the
right.
I managed to squeeze by on the left. My bike should have braked at least
as
well as the other Eldorado.
See you at Shreve!

Ian,
Is there someone out there who has a magic brake formula, other than
Mark or Vintage Brake? Any idea what your friend is doing that might be
different than what Elisabeth has already tried?
As I have mentioned before, Vintage Brake relined my brakes with riveted
Ferodo 2520 (front) and VB3000 (rear). I turned the shoes down to match
the drum diameters (as instructed), and since they've bedded in (after
about 100 miles)I've had brakes that come pretty close to disc brake
performance. The only weak link seems to be the replacement brake cable
that I picked up tends to stretch a bit so I am looking for one of the
heavier original ones.

The problem is that you were going 90 mph! :-)
As I have told you I have lined up a guy that will make your brakes as
good
as they can get.
Have a good trip to Ohio....Ian

| | Hi John,
Hope I don't disapoint you too much, but I really can't ride my loop: My
brakes need serious attention. Last week riding, tried making an
emergency
stop and couldn't - managed to swerve - |
