Had a drive, just to see. Braking is working, but not quite good enough to be safe. Pedal travels right to floor and DOES brake, but not quite well enough. As mentioned, still rear shoes to adjust plus there is probably some additional free play in the pedal where I have over compensated.
But the error was that, despite TRYING to remind myself to replace the split pin on the pedal push rod, I didn't. So I got a few miles before remembering this point and then gingerly drove back home again!!
If that came apart I would have had NO brakes!! Got away with that.
Optimistically looking forward to adjusting things up and having a "normal" car back again, which should be capable of getting to the ACCC summer meeting venue back at Brooklands in a couple of weeks time WITHOUT the brakes locking up this time!! (or the cylinder head gasket blowing, or something else etc.. etc... etc...!! )
