My 1980 5spd PI Tr7 brakes seem to be less then desirable. I replaced the front pads last fall but always felt that the front brakes were doing all the work. In fact the E-brake would not work. Decided to take the rears off Tuesday and found that most of the moving parts were locked up. Took it all apart cleaned everything. Lube it all with anti-seize and even bought new shoes from Team Triumph. The thickness of the new pads were almost identical to the old ones. Before setting off on a test drive I backup and hit the brakes several times. During test drive 12 miles I'm still not happy with the stopping power of the brake system. Could be a lot better in my opinion. But the e-brake works. Anything I could be missing?
