I gave my car to a shop to have the hand brake bracket rewelded on the
frame. They missadjusted the hand brake at the drums. Consequently I
have had dragging brakes for 100 miles worth of trips. I should have
checked when the handbrake handle would only rise 2 clicks! Only one
trip was long enough for the brakes to stink and draw attention to
themselves. I am going to check the drums and maybe get new springs. I
think the drums are warped and might need turning. How round should the
drums be? I have a spare set with less fins that I could use.
