this looks like the typical pedal-box brake layout with the typical redirection lever.

can you exactly describe what you arent happy about?

spongy pedal?
poor brake efficiency?
poor brake efficiency in combination with a hard pedal?

what brand of brake pads have you fitted?

Hi thanks the pedal seems quite hard And little braking effect.

I think I am just expecting a bit much from an 80s non servo system.

I have put in ebc green stuff pads.

Thanks
