Adjusting the rear brakes away from the drums - would just give you highly undesirable long pedal travel and make no difference what-so-ever to the operation of the brakes.

How about a drop of oil on the rear shoes?

I hope that is not a serious suggestion! I am going to upgrade to midget rostyle wheels at the same time as the riley front drums, which I hope will mean the rear brakes will have to be under more pressure before skidding. The midget wheels take wider tyres, which i assume will give more grip. But tyres that are too wide will give less grip, I am going to use 175/70 R13 tyres as these give nearly the same overall diameter as the minor 14" wheels (the midgets are 13")
any comments on this??
