Rear brake adjustment
#1
Happy New Year to all.  I am trying to adjust the rear brakes on my Mk1 Ruby. I am using the cable adjusters sold by most cherished suppliers where they hook over the cable and tighten with a thumb screw. With the handbrake on two notches the thumb screw gets very tight well before all the thread is used up but the wheels still rotate freely. I have checked the linings and there is plenty of meat left on them but I notice that the brake cam has turned quite a lot without activating the brakes.  Is it possible that I need some further shims on the brake shoes or new brake cams. (The brake shoes were modified when relined a few years ago due to wear against the brake cam.)

John Mason.
Would you believe it "Her who must be obeyed" refers to my Ruby as the toy.

New brake drums might be a better bet.
