Default Re: Adjusting Flathead Ted Brakes vs. Stock Brakes

Thanks, Jerry. I was guessing that this was the case. I'm going to test drive the car this afternoon and work on getting the adjuster screws set properly per the instructions.

Will following the Model A Times version of the instructions automatically result in the 60/40 braking action mentioned in Tom's post? (Assuming, of course, that the braking system is otherwise set up properly.)

John - interesting that Les wrote those instructions. I'm trying to follow them closely but find the description of the final adjusting process a little vague - unlike his very explicit instructions for adjusting stock brakes. Maybe it's because one adjusts Flathead Ted's by driving the car and tweaking things rather than using a couple of tools in the shop in one session.
