What did you buy today

I found the braided lines made a significant difference. I found the standard nissan pads also worked very well, and attribute both of them to me passing the 44 emerg braking stops that were part of the GVM upgrade process.

Yep braided lines and OEM pads on mine. Work great but I do have the TB48 master cylinder and calipers too…

I am hoping my braking package is now at the 'next level' with the hydroboost over the top of the Willwoods - yet to drive it, but soon! The Willwood pads were difficult to bed in, needed a lot of heat to activate the surfaces.

I have one like that made by Southern Cross Canvass, absolutely brilliant, but too big for my use now, bought a 10ft x 10ft minute tent from them, another brilliant item, 1 pole and 4 pegs, can stand up in it, breathes well and totally waterproof. We got hit by the tail of a cyclone in our big SC tent, and were the onlt tent standing next morning, everyone else flattened or in their cars, its a great format.

A quick tip on original Arab/Design style tents, don’t over tension their central poles, they are designed to flop around in the wind/deflecting.
Brilliant engineering. Personally scored a Beautiful Little Brother outa one of them Arabian/Simpsons tents

Those “bus” tents (used by the outback bus travel companies for fast ups and downs - poor driver ripping a dozen of them up and down a day!) also came with spring-loaded poles so the tent can flex in the breeze. Bloody fuggin ripper tents to travel with and grouse quality. Can be a bit cold though but that’s tents for ya. Far better than an oztent imho. Packs flat. Lighter. You can stand up tall in em to stretch and put ya jocks on without doing the hunchback one legged hopscotch half asleep.

I shouldn’t laugh Plassy Brother
Will never forget though being so Perplexed as to why ‘our’ Father was running around the property blind searching for a fresh water tap to wash canvas ‘Scotch-Guard’ out of his accidentally splash/funnel bucket eye sockets.
