Re: Front brake Adjustment
Bob, Several people on the Barn have recommended only one "pill" (shim). In my car I put new pins in and one pill. The end of the pin can be welded up to give the 15 degrees angle.
The 15 degree angle should be with all slack taken up and so that any further movement aft will start to move the shoes.
Once the 15 degrees has been established and the length of the brake rods adjusted, the brake rods will not have be adjusted for a long time.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work.
The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk.
My car grows red hair, and flies through the air.
Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
