Only became a member of SCOF a couple weeks ago and only looked at the technical section (very nice and informative). Can not access yahoo groups at work.

I find for a car (SPF) that is herald as a replica standard to have a brake issue which has been going on for months now to be a little bitter to swallow. The bitterness is exagerated by the fact that the rest of the car is as close to perfection as one could get. I will put mine up against anyones including other SPF's as far as fit and finish, quality of components, engine bay and engine and they may be as good but they will not be better.

I have no idea what the magic bullet is to cure the brake issue (brake shoes, different calipers, master cylinder) that is why I bought a roller. You would think that SPF would issue a letter of warning or recall or a statement. I have been contacted by noyone. I have heard nothing, the only thing I hear is on this post so I assume which I must since the OEM has not indicated different the vehicle is fine to drive.

This forum is a blog, nobody is a documeted expert, so when other members indicate their brakes do not work how do I know they know how to use them, maybe they are hitting the clutch instead of the brake. I know for one thing it the brakes are not predictable in the wrong situation the last thing SPF will be worried about is building replicas.
