OK, thanks for the updates, Joe. I?m glad you finally know what is going on (replacement linings too thick). I learn something new every day here! All that new info must be what is pushing out so many gray hairs now. I had wrongly assumed that they were the same as on my '63 - my bad!

If so, they are set to the minimum length they can achieve. Dick; On these "Total Contact Brakes" the adjusters never have any exposed threads visible. They use cams that are enclosed between two steel support plates. I have adjusted the cams to the minimum position.
