Default Re: Mechanical Brakes adjustment

The brake board can be used any way you wish. One size doesn't fit all. If you want the rears to do more, it'll do it. Want them all the same, it'll do it. Want the fronts to come in first, it'll do it. The board is to set the drag when and where you want it, as in most things it comes down to the operator. If you want to start a fire, it'll work once. If you want to adjust brakes it'll last a lifetime.

But, this is just one old guys opinion. FWIW.

I tried Bob's method that didn't work so well on my car. Car did stop but not
as quick and distant I would like.
Did the board after watching Paul Shinn and a couple other guys that was
about the same as Paul's, with great result's. Now a board fan!!
