Thanks for that - the brakes were ultimately OK when they came on, but the several inches of travel before the "bite" took some getting used to. You may well be right that it's just an adjustment that's required. I should stress that the car was otherwise set up really nicely and presented in lovely condition.
One of the things I've really liked about my Aero is just how confidence-inspiring the brakes are - as good as any car that I've driven. I imagine you can't achieve quite the same with a three wheeler in part because there is so much less contact rubber to brake with. Does the rear disc brake conversion make much difference?

Adjust the pedal and or seating position to improve feel.
Rear disc brake does certainly improve the 'feel'.
Might be less contact rubber but its having to stop a lot less weight than a traditional car. Personally never had an issue with the braking side of things. (rear disc fitted and pedals all set up to my liking).
