I wish they were adjustable like the vw bugs. Those just have two screws or something you can tighten down on and it pulls the cables slack out.

Posts: 723 | From: San Jose, Cali. | Registered: Nov 2004  |  : RedBaron ¯ Member # 4361 posted                              Hey, there's a second ratchet mechanism that tensions the input cable to the handle- I had to physically move it so my ebrake would work right. It's the wheel that the cable slides into and lives in. Might be worth lifting off your console top to take a look at what I'm talking about. -------------------- 1988 4i coupe, 88 gt 85 ttop- Posts: 830 | From: S.S.F. | Registered: Apr 2004  |  : 1FAST89GT ¯ Member # 5071 posted                              adjust the adjusters on the drum, set the rim on spin it, when it goes around one and a half by it self your rear brakes are adjusted right. maybe twice but no more then that.

First try adjusting the drums and see if that fixes things. -------------------- R.I.P.
