Default Re: Brake Adjustment 1936 Mechanical

You can adjust the rod threads by varying the pedal to cross shaft length that's in the battery box ,so you are aiming to have plenty of thread left ,the car I pictured in last thred had run out of rod thred so when i welded up the parts as described I was able to let out the adjustment so I had restored clevis thread , so by adjusting the front shoes to drum clearance first will dictate were the clevas ends up its were the rod thread comes out to meet it 1/32 to place the pin in ,rods should have 50% of thred left ,Rod angles change as you get drum & lining ware so you need to restore that .
