<VV> Brake Shoes..the real story

[UltraMonzaWest@aol.com]

Starting in 1963, automatic adjusters were incorporated. This required that 
the primary (forward) shoe have a shorter lining to allow room for the 
two-shoe 
assembly to pivot at the anchor pin and swing counterclockwise and allow the 
automatic adjustment mechanism to function when the brakes were applied with 
the vehicle moving in the reverse direction.

AH!  so that's why MY  adjusters always work...and others don't.....very good!

Now 2 questions.....why does it seem to take more pedal presssure...it was 
noticable enough for me ot go back in and shorten the lining?

And why do Vair vendors sell equal lenght units?
