Brake adjusters

Post by boydogs »

Could someone please explain the difference between the adjusters used on 7inch and 8inch brake shoes. At Bull Motifs they sell adjusters for the 8inch shoes @ £8.50 but don`t have any for the 7inch shoes, so there must be a difference. ?

The 8' adjusters are a bigger sized adjuster and only fit the front brakes on a 1098 car, the 7' are slightly smaller and work for the earlier cars with the smaller brakes on the front and on the rear of both types.
