Terry Yep the effort was evident - appreciated thanks. Based on your description the previous owner didnt install a prop valve :( I have wondered quietly for a while why others have commented on the improvement with 240K brakes installed (and rear drums). On mine they (front brakes) have always seemed to have little effect - feels like the rears do more braking??! I guess the lack of prop valve may have something to do with it?!
