Thanks guys. I’ll try to upload some photos when I have a decent internet connection.

Just had a slap up meal and lots of beer. First time a meal has cost me over a million?

Lots of small Hondas here….but nothing over 90cc.

We won the Australia to Vietnam race…..around 5000NM.

Next race is Vietnam to Zhuhai in China.

We have a crew of around 17 working 4 or 8 hour shifts. Eg approximately 8 persons on deck, the rest sleeping or doing other chores below deck.

For clarity, the attached is bollox?

For clarification

On the 500,a nylon washer which fits between the pad and piston is often included with new pads

But what it does is a mystery,

So does the 550. I’, gonna give the recommendation a try using thin s/s sheet with corrugations.

I tend to find, the harder you use the brake, the less squeal you get

Did I read somewhere that the solution to stop brake squeaks is to shim the piston/ pad? Maybe a myth…

Testing at 500v is just to test final circuit cable insulation . Don’t test the actual appliance at 500V

Photo required for confirmation, but probably yes. No, you can’t reuse the pin!!!

Yeah, I said what can I use to re-pin.  Here's the photo I meant to upload.

Oops, sorry Dom. must get some new specs. Plus one on what Ken has advised…eg dog point screw.
