Hi,
Does anyone have the adjuster bars that sit between the shoes in a drum brake set up. Mine are shafted and it's a pain keep doing it by hand for the MOT Rolling Eyes

It's for a 93 16v
Cheers, Lee

Sounds like mine Lee!!!!! Laughing

I'm not sure how well this 'self adjusting' system works anyway.

I think they are still available new.

The lever set 60750210 is £40 and new spring set (should you need them) 60750208 is £20 from your local happy Alfa dealership :

Hope that helps.

Bob

Thanks for the reply Bob
£40 is a whole stack of pennies..........Tweeking them once a year aint so bad!!

Drill a large hole in the drum - and you can adjust it with a screwdriver without taking the bearings and drum and nut off!!!!!?

Not sure about the safety of doing that - or the wheel balancing though

you can adjust them through the wheel bolt hole, right side adjusts up to tighten and left side is down to tighten. Just done mine ready for mot Laughing
