[ROVERNET - UK] P6 girling callipers

[Vern Klukas]

Hmmm. I ones I've tried to file seemed to be hardened and I had to 
resort to a small stone slip. But that was also years ago, so things 
may be a bit hazy.

But in answer to the original poster, just resharpening the pawl does 
work, as long as you don't remove more than maybe 0.030" or so.

Yours
Vern
