Wanted Please - Parking Brake Springs !

[RogerHeinz57]

Just to update this post.......

The springs that are really needed are the ones which act against the star wheel adjuster. They are the ideal match for the application to re-purpose them. The equipment is a Brake roller tester. For those who have seen them usually have 3 rollers per side, 1 forward and one rear roller, then a central roller which is of much smaller diameter and usually polished rather than gritted. The central polished roller is hinged and performs many functions. The design of the pivot and sprung loading is far from ideal design on the 4 mot lanes at my workplace. I have modified all 4 lanes so far and the earliest 2 are now beginning to show malfunctions, resulting in aborting the entire brake test, or showing a failure of brake roller test result. Both areas cause problems for the tester and require a full repeat of the roller test. This is mainly because the connected equipment has recorded the results to the DVSA before you can intervene. So as you can understand, it is far from ideal. The Italian equipment has a very poor aftersales service, and it seems that I can provide a quick fix to enable the kit to continue working. The calibrations are unaffected by this due to the calibrations proceedures not using a vehicle to perform it.
So there it is in a bit more detail.
A thanks to Arctic for his offer also applies.

( Good morning Steve.

Many thanks for your response to this subject.
I would like to accept your offer and will PM you my address.
I have a BMW Mini compensator which has no home or use here, and wondered if you would like it in exchange for your kindness, please advise me on this and we could arrange address exchanges to facilitate such exchange.

Kind Regards.

A Big "Thanks to Arctic"
Parcel arrived today thank you.
There are some good examples of possible springs suited to the need, although will need to do some fitness exercises to get some of them on !

Still await postal address for BMW Mini compensator to send to you in exchange !

Many thanks again.
