Getting knickers in a knot? Hardly!

The site is for exchange of info relating to all things Bedford.
One of the great things about it is that if someone posts up something that can be considered dangerous, stupid or illegal in terms of alterations or modifications, then we have a right, even a duty to point it out so that other readers will not put themselves and others in jeopardy. In the shed or on the road.

Just a point: If you seriously don't check all your brakes are in good condition BEFORE you travel long distances then that's pretty neglectful. It also seems that since you're saying you go through disk rotors all the time rather than the pads, then maybe your brake set-up has something very wrong with it!

I don't seem to remember saying that I went through disks all  the time at all...Maybe you had better read the post again and make sure you fully understand it before you make a personal attack on me..and I am NOT stupid....things happen, usually when you are going to be stuck in the middle of no where and have to wait weeks for parts... AND I will also repeat the we did NOT do this modification, we bought the van this way and just wanted to let others know so they had further information.  There are plenty of things that people have posted on this site that I consider to be stupid and dangerous, but I didn't tell them this!!  (and neither did anyone else for that matter)
What you looking at?

You just want to see how many vans you can actually park on Shazbot's front lawn.  :P

I recommend that Shazbot counts her vans again after you guys have left just in case one mysteriously walks...  ;D ;D

You seemed to take it pretty personally! I was speaking in very general terms.
I read your post and it still seems to say you'd go through disk rotors than pads.

The fact is that modification is illegal and it's imperative to let others know so they won't do the same thing and face serious potential accidents and liability suits. There should be no problem for anyone with people speaking up for the benefit of others safety.
