I've installed Flathead Ted's brake system at all 4 corners.

I'm looking for information about adjusting the Flathead Ted brakes. I'm following the instructions from Model A Times. For instance, these mention turning in the adjusting bolts on the front brakes until the brakes start to drag, adjusting to get the brakes to lock up, and adjusting to eliminate pull.

Do these instructions (and those for the rear brakes) replace the process described in Les Andrew's book? I'm guessing that this is so, but I would love to have this confirmed by someone who's actually done the conversion.

Thanks much.
