Always like to help an Aussie if I can. Never heard of a Pendulum Drag Tester
however there are two approaches I would take regarding your problem:

1. Most Traffic Acts contain a list of devices approved for testing the braking
of vehicles. In my province Ontario there is a Regulation to our Highway Traffic
Act that lists approved instruments for doing same. Is this instrument approved
under your state/countries traffic laws?

2. I've heard of a lot of instruments in my day but not this one. Just like physics
theory... if it is generally accepted in the scientific community as a reliable formulae
then you can use it. If no one has heard of it and uses it, is it reliable? ie. You
won't find anyone disputing the G Analyst or the Vericom VC 2000.

Just some thoughts I felt I should pass on.

P.S. The kangaroos trashed your e-mail box. I couldn't get through that way.
