Hey, Group,
My E brake will not hold my '30 Town Sedan on a grade. I can pull the handle back three notches but it's just not enough to hold the car. The Les Andrews book really doesn't address this and the Service Bulletins book tells to run the rod through a hole in the center cross member and attach it to an additional hole in the cross shaft. I don't see an additional hole in the cross member or the lever. I know there is not a lot of adjustment and my E brake linings are still good - no wear. Do the rods need to be shortened?
What are your suggestions?
Marty
