and of course you can take the drum off and wind it up as much as you cam manually them put the drum on as a ,,,snug,, fit.
also if doing this check the inner edge of the drum for a wear lip and if need be and very very carefully take the lip away ,,sand it off with a flap disc in the angle grinder but be care full

The adjustment isn't the barrel type, it's 2 'wedges' with teeth'. I managed to get it to move forward but it then moved back to it's starting position everytime. From memory , same sort of adjusting used on Mk 3/4 ESCORT rear drums , whch also never worked again once you swapped shoes for the first time.
Again, from my recollection the type on the Sherpa only work on hydraulic travel not handbrake ?

ok so if its wedge type strip the shoe,s and adjusters off take the wedge,s apparte wash in solvent and clean up the teeth and slightly deepen them with a junior hacksaw then make shure all the springs are correct and reassemble DO NOT LUBRICATE THE WEDGE,S TEETH copaslip is very good when used on most brake /mechanical assembleys but no use on adjuster teeth |

It's not a hobby, it's an illness. There's no known cure I'm afraid.

A day off from the workshop today -got stuff to do at home &, to be honest, I can't afford the fuel to run over there if I'm not doing a lot. Hopefully Terry &/or Kev will be back to sort the rest of the wiring in the next couple of days, so we can get it running, so I'll be back tomorrow. I did drive to Aldershot this morning though to "JackHammer's" -a very cool local hotrod shop. I knew it was there, but had never been before. All manner of lovely bits & shiney doo dahs. Apparently they've got a German film crew there on Thursday to film Simon of Nefarious Pinstriping, working on Big John's model A coupe as part of a documentary called Flake n Flames. While I was there, forum member Postie Dave wandered in, looking for a fuel pump for his Consul. Hi Davey Boy.  I picked up another 10psi residual valve for 10 quid, (they were 27 on Ebay). Hopefully that might sort the rear drum brake problem by keeping some pressure in the lines, holding the shoes nearer the drums. JackHammer Speed Shop |

Jackhammer is at 33a Farnborough Street Farnborough Hampshire GU14 8AG (just next to Farnborough North railway station, which is handy if the motor's off the road) ...and what is it you do for a living?!! The truck is really coming along..... soooo much work, but it'll be oh so worth it!  |

I'm a Postie Tony -I walk the same route every day -I don't know how to get to ...(fill in as appropriate), as people think I do when they constantly pull up, asking for directions. How the hell should I know!
