Thanks in > advance, Ken. > Both shoes are supposed to be the same. Did you possibly get one of the adjusters backwards? the adjusters and the shoes have an angle to them, and they have to match. Also, check the way you have installed the linkage for the emergency brake. Check the adjustment on the e-brake cables. They should both be adjusted about the same. If you left side is working OK, compare the 2 sides and see what is different. -- Russ Wolfe '66 FB MT '71 FB AT '65 Bug (not running) russw@classicvw.org http://www.classicvw.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
