Default Re: 1940 Front Wheel Cylinders

The holes in the shoes & brass eccentric cams and anchor bolts at the bottom of the shoes adjust the position of the shoes on '40 brakes. Suggest you see if you can find Rumble seat's post on brakes. He did an excellent job, bless his soul. The bottom adjusters s/be installed a specific way, with dots or arrows facing each other. I mark the backing plate as to where the lobe of the adjusters will be when the they are installed correctly, and orient the eccentrics in the shoes to line up with the adjusters before installing them. It makes it a lot easier than trying to find the right place to put the adjusters in so they line up right.
