Such words came into my mind after examination of current disc brake pads. They look like originals from 1979... well now I'm exaggerating a little, they must be from 1980.
My colleague with his mighty 1978 helped me out with the brake pads exchange. I noticed huge change in the braking experience on my way back home. A small additional task awaited me there, I installed solid fuel filter instead of the plastic crap that was sitting there before.
Some days later we jumped into a replacement of drum brake shoes in the rear. We replaced almost all the hardware inside. Also, the braking system was totally flushed out and filled with a brand new fluid. The old one reminded me a sparkling black mud - how the hell could that even brake before?
Notice the last photo where we achieve a very artistic impression of whole composition by help with special effects - making the opposite wheel spinning :-)
