Thinking out of box

[adileo]

So today a good friend (35 three window couple with juice brakes) attend
our first car show of season. We started talking about installing new brake pad on my 39 and his 35 (which has same brakes).

Neither of us are experts with these brakes. We started to discuss ways of viewing into the system while making the adjustments. After a few minutes we came up with cutting a piece of sheet metal the same size as the inner drum with a center hole large enough to slip up to the brake shoes. With that, one would be able to adjust the shoes and see if top and bottom of shoes are hitting evenly onto drum.

What’s your thoughts.
