Rear brakes

Postby str@tis » Sun Aug 14, 2022 9:32 pm

Hi, mates!
I have disassembled my rear shoes to change the cylinder due to small leakage.
It 's a mk3 2.0 CFI petrol chassis single cub, with single rear wheels.
I need a photo of the adjusters' setup.
Thanks in advance.

My problem is that there is neither video nor photo for transit mk3 rear brakes, specially single wheeled.

I have missadjustment issues despite fitting new brake shoes.
I need to know the correct washer placement on adjusters.

All I can remember is they are a mirror image of each side and one spring in the kit is handed that goes on the adjuster cam but it was 30+ years ago
