Vintage-Veteran Brake Repair Manual on CD-ROM
A necessary tool for repairing or restoring!
Vintage-Veteran Brake Repair Manual on CD-ROM: $22.50 + shipping
If you own or are planning to own and restore a vintage or veteran car,
this is a manual that you’ve got to own. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and line drawings, making it very clear exactly what
procedures need to be performed. Originally re-printed in 1980 by the
New Zealand Brake Specialists Association, the editor, Colin Perham was
a brake specialist when these brakes were current so he collected
materials from the shop manuals of the time and reprinted them.
You will receive an ISO-9660 CD-ROM with a PDF file containing the
entire 100 page text of the book. This is perfect for you if you are actually working on a car. Print the pages that you need in the shop. If
you tear them or get them greasy, print a new set. Make a loose-leaf notebook of the entire book and put pages with your own notes
in-between! It should work with almost any computer and includes a copy
of Adobe Acrobat Reader for Windows XP and Mac.

Fundamentals of Brake Maintenance
Elementary Adjustment
Shoe Centering - Internal Brakes
Application of Lining
