Don, Your 72 souldn't have calipers on the back - just a wheel cylinder. It is held in place with a small spring clip on the back of the backing plate. I bought new cylinders and they come with the c

I finished installing the speedi-sleeves on the Bugeye rear axle along with new brake shoes and drums. The problem is in the adjustment of the brakes, there is none. When adjusted all the way out, th

Hi Larry, I've had this happen way too many times! The fact that the rear brakes shoes are ALWAYS slightly undersized doesn't help at all. The other problem is drums that have been turned or are worn

I saw this happen on a friend's bugeye. The so-called British car shop that 'fixed them' never bothered to try them out. Fresh from their repairs, the e-brake went all the way up without engaging th

Sorry Larry, You did state that quite clearly. As near as I can tell, the adjuster in the photo is set all the way 'in', I presume that even when set all the way 'out' they still don't engage. That w

Needle nose locking visegrips work great, too. I'm down to maybe 20% breakage from 70% or so (certain people have certain mental blocks, OK?). Found a new thing out when installing the rear brake sh

Sorry, but always change your rubber Bob! Old rubber will swell with use. (This is going from bad to worse) Get a rebuld kit and start with all fresh parts, it will go together fine. Regards, Martyn

Buy from Paul A. on this list whenever you can. He will get you the correct stuff. I also echo the previous statement, get new rubber. Cylinders can frequently be re-used. But, rubber is disposable.
