As you are aware Kalahari speedweek is upon us, so as usual we always leave the repairs till the last minute. I decided it was time to addfress my dodgy brakes and a gearbox leak, so off I head to west coast Brake and clutch and have a chat to Errol, I must add I have never used these guys before but being in Milnerton they were the easiest, sadly I arrived wearing a jacket and tie... So Mr Errol decides to tell me that instead of re-lining my drum shoes he suggests we put a disk brake conversion on, as it will be CHEAPER and EASIER well I wasn't born yesterday and decided I was taking my business elsewhere.
So I decided to visit our forum brake guru Doug Hirkham at CBF in Plumbstead. What a knowledgeable man and what a great Valiant Charger he has hiding behind his workshop, anyway after going through my brakes he diagnosed the issue, far from what I thought the problem was, he even ran the car back and forth to Peter at Southern Automatics to deal with the leaky gearbox. My car is now ready for speedweek So just a huge thanks to Doug at CBF for remarkable, knowledgeable and honest service
Great service from Doug Hirkham
