It's been a while.

I took the arm off, and realised it is slightly adjustable. One of the mounting holes are not completely round, but allow a bit of adjustment. I made the hole longer, making it more adjustable. This way, I was able to tighten the spring more, and got more brake power to the rear. Braking felt a lot better, but I still want to tighten it a bit more.

After slight modification: Attachment 71136

Original bracket : Attachment 71137

thanks guys

I'm thinking I will leave it like this as it stops better on the black where a front would lock up.
The spot this happens is off camber down hill in the wet approaching a roundabout.
Scared the cactus out of me the first time it happened. Doesnt do it now.
