[QUOTE="BlackLightning998, post: 1057, member: 109"] Thanks to everyone so far, so here I go. I've put on very heavy grade cables, looks like very little distortion now and I've adjusted everything up so the the balance beam is nice and level, the actuating arms are pretty much aligned and the shoes are set close up to the drum, (she has new shadow drums and new shoes with bonded linings having just been re-built by someone else - I've stripped them out and had a good look - the shows seem to be sitting ontot the drum fairly well). The lever pull is now impressive - I can get it back well towards the bar but that takes a pretty significant effort - the brakes seem to be very well on with little pull. Off out to the Bill Little event in Swindon tomorrow - so we shall see. Thanks to all who've replied so far - keep you posted. Stuart [/QUOTE]
