Default Forum names when Returning Please

I received a compensator today with my return label attached but no name of the person whom sent it please can members slip a little piece of paper in the envelope when returning with there forum name on it or just write it in a corner on the envelope which ever would be great as i do not have a clue whom sent and i can then not cross you off the list i have.

I've been following this for a while and I am thinking about replacing my compensator as the garage who fitted my last discs, pads and handbrake shoes added a load of extra nuts to the adjuster by the handbrake and it is still useless even now.

HA.....As was done to mine.... Fitted new cables etc;...... OMG......Twisted sooooo much I had to get them to fit another set... My hand brake was so bad.... Utterly useless..... I do have new shoes on the rear..... Fitted my compensator last week.... I have had to adjust the nut on the hand brake from 25cm..(is that right..) to about 15cm.... No adjustment of the shoes and my hand brake is now only 2 clicks...DO NOT DELAY..... DO IT TODAY ... Is my motto...

I hope its only 15mm and not 15 cm or your handbrake compensator would be toucjing the roof lining at 25cm you would need a sunroof to stand up in to pull it on to work so i know you mean 15mm Arctic.
