Self-adjusting rear brakes again ...

For everything to do with Dolomites, Toledos, FWD cars and Dolomite-based kitcars.

Self-adjusting rear brakes again ...

#1 Post by MIG Wielder »

... Just to confirm, if the rear brakes need adjusting, should the ratchet adjuster operate when the handbrake is pulled on ... or when it is released ? I've just been reading another forum for cars with Dolomite-type rear adjusters and the ratchet has been set to click up the adjustment when the handbrake is released.
Thanks all,
Tony.
