Dear Fellow Brickboarders,

Hope you're well. The FAQ descriptions do not address the following issue. To install the emergency brake shoes, does the top shoe's rear-most end (that towards the back of the car) rest atop the fitting at the end of the cable?

I ask, because when the top shoe's rear-most end rests atop this fitting (the slot in the brake shoe fits into the top of the fitting), the end of the brake shoe is about 1/4" from the metal block, against which rests the bottom shoe's rear-most end. As a result, I cannot install the rotor. The brake shoe assembly is simply too wide, to fit inside the rotor. The brake shoe springs have been corrected installed.

Or, does the fitting at the end of the cable - which has an "ear" that sticks upwards - go behind the brake dust shield? If so, how exactly does it fit into place. Please be as specific as possible, using as reference point, the square metal block at the rear (three o'clock position) of the brake shoe base plate.

One more question, when the emergency brake cable is completely slack, is the black plastic adjusting "nut" as close as it can get to the emergency brake console, or is the black plastic nut as close as it can get to the rear-edge of the opening in the carpet? These are fixed reference points, which tell me whether or not I have the black plastic adjustment nut in the correct position.

Thanks for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
