Re: Brake centering
Back in the day you could buy the roller pin with a larger head depending on your need to move the shoe up to center better. So far what I have been doing is;
set all the rods to the same length,
install new clevis pins (over sized or standard as needed).
replace clevis or repair as needed,
re-do the tracks,
pick the shoes with the best holes along with new pins and rollers,
get a set of adjusting pins that are all about the same,
re-line the shoes with woven lining,
fit the shoes to drums,
add pills as needed to front along with floaters,
new bushing and cams for rear,
install new cast iron drums,
install shoes and drums,
adjust,
test drive,
adjust as needed.
After the car has been driven a while have customer bring car back to check adjustment of shoes. That give brake shoes time to get seated.
