Thanks JFranklin, I will respond to those questions when I get a chance.

In the meantime I have prepared a chart to record the situation at each wheel before and after, I start using the " brake adjustment board" and make any changes to the brake adjusting screw on each wheel. This is following Jim/GA's earlier recommendations. The car is now up on 4 jack-stands.

The first chart (see below) shows the current situation before I start using the "board" or making any changes. I will up-date the chart over the next day or so, each time I change anything. By this process I hope to discover whether the "tightness" of some brakes is restricting the amount of clevis adjustment available on the troublesome LHS rear wheel.
