That picture number seven shows only half the disc working.
To generate the same stopping power of a clean disc about twice the normal pressure would be needed on the brake pedal. You would end up with your right leg much stronger than your left.--- PS. When I first read the name given to this thread I thought someone was having sexual problems.--Lol. Last edited by COLVERT; 6th December 2021 at 12:29.. |

You are supposed to centralise the rear handbrake shoes when you adjust the handbrake. This is done standing still, not moving? I can not see what driving slowly forwards to centralise the brake shoes would achieve, if that were possible?

When the handbrake is on there's a slight movement backwards and forwards of the car.---This seems to be part
of the way the shoes and back plate fit together. Perhaps this driving forward cuts this backlash in half leaving the shoes central to the drum.------------- |

Don't know which way to turn?
I thought you were going to relate the well known writer and conscientious objector Lytton Strachey who when pulled up in WW1 before the tribunal was asked "Suppose your sister was threatened by a German soldier what would you do?" To which he replied in his high pitched squeaky voice "Get between them!".
