[QUOTE="fogrider, post: 177673, member: 2655"] I have remembered a WW2 Fordson 7V fire engine I restored some 43 years ago. The brakes were cable operated and pretty poor, even when re-lined. ( it was nearly 6 tons ). I met a guy who was an expert on the 7V's. He sold me a genuine Ford manual and said adjust the brakes EXACTLY as per manual, no short cuts. What a difference ! The memory is that those shoe pivots proved to be eccentric. So Berts' mod was well on the way to ensuring the pivots were near the best place. The pivots in the ally plates are held in with nuts, so, why not have eccentric pivots ? Much easier to arrange than Berts' mod, even more benefit and no ireversable changes to the backplate.
