Electric Brakes adjsutment - Coromal-

Member Ian,

What a dumb **** reply. "Being light on in caravan expenience"... Then keep quiet !

I rember when I couldn't swim... if I adopted your philosophy I would have leared the basics and have gone onto diving on oil rigs in the North Sea then emigarted and switched to teaching Industrialarts for 30 years. Repeat. this is the first time I have done this and there are no instruction booklets...

Have a good look at yourself and check out the positive respones.. Half glass empty or half full ?

Thanks barney rubble,

Thanks for your guidance... I began at 8 and was finished by 9 this morning.

Just like the old VW brakes but not quite as easy to get to.

I have to comment that what I did in an hour - next time quicker still - was not what I would expect could be justified from a $140 quote.

Regards

Thanks mate,

Tomorrow I am out with a screwdriver and a hope.

Thanks for the positives ....I am amazed at first response by Member Ian.. "If you haven't the confidence then go with the established route"....pay the piper... that way the only person who gains in confidence and the skills is the piper.... maybe Member Ian joined the wrong site and should relearn what Australia was built on " Do you tie it up with wire, just to keep the show on the road? Hey.. True Blue.

Skier,

It's most obvious my post was not what you wanted to hear. It was an opnion, a suggestion, no malice or put down intended.

I'm disappointed you did not see it in the manner it was intended.

Ian

Rsend, (Good name)

The point is skills are learned and confidence is gained from successfully employing them.

It is now 9.30am. On the strength of Barney Rubbles post I began at 8am, jack at hand screwdriver at the ready. I found the grommet and took up the brakes. As Barney said just like the old drum brakes on the VW's the kids and I used to restore in the scchool's metal workshop.

The whole job took less than an hour and wasn't worth the $140 quoted nor did it need much engineering expertise to perform the job.

You know next time I won't have to ask "how to". Knowledge in humans is not innate it is learned. Also I have the confidence to do it again next time.

By the way it scimping on the recompression stops that got you not bottom times.

Ski'er - not sure what the "(Good name)" insert meant!

"The point is" that someone offered you their opinion about something that you had enquired about. I am sure that you have opinions about things that others may not wish to hear! There was no need for the response that you provided.

Anyway I'm glad to see that you are actually a reasonable human being after all!

I entirely support your suppositions above and , as you say, next time you won't have to ask.

Keep up the good work (and try to keep your future comments positive, whatever you might be thinking!)

Thanks Paul,

I did the deed had just closed down he tread with a general thank you when your site link came in. I did a general search on the sites onboard search engine.

Electric brakes on an RV featured as a USA TV DIY show that went to air on June 2 2007,

Obviously I missed the show but they back it up with a Gregory's car manual type of step by step how to and inlcude photos of what to expect. You probably know all this which is why you passed on the link.

IMHO you could do an immense service to the EO folks by announcing the site, to a wider audience, in a specific post about its existance.

Thanks again
SKI'er.
