Improving braking - vitesse mk2

[Pete Lewis]

How ever you do it , you dont want for whatever reason, any cable tension holding the shoes off their cylinders when you adjust the shoes or you will get lost travel

optimum is the shoes must be fully retracted to their end of travel,

 

and make sure the trailing shoe is fitted with the handbrake hole at the bottom

 

seen so many upside down

However Rotoflex does need the car to be at ride height to get the cable adjustment correct.

The worst combination is a rotoflex axle under a non-roto tub using the non-roto cable guides.  BTDT.

I remember seeing a guide a few years back that stated that the shoes must be like a mirror image of each other.... and I remember thinking surely that can't be right, as the handbrake slot will be at the top in both shoes.... what's the correct term for an upside-down / opposite reflection?

is that what you get when looking in the pond !!!

No, that's what you get when staring reflectively in your soup spoon......
