Brake shoes HELP!
2 sets of springs for 9 inch brakes
1 set is for deletion of the auto adjuster
1 set is for use with auto adjuster
In a standard set-up one end of 1 spring hooks into the auto adjuster and the adjuster lever is studded or hangs in a hole higher up.
this is a front brake but they all very similar. obvioulsy front brakes have no parking brake strut or pull lever pinned to the shoe
if it was an adjuster delete set up that bottom spring would be sligly different config bigger coils for ashorter distance and a longer hook end. it would reach easily the hole where the auto adjsuet lever hangs and it would have its coils configured so that the part of it that ran across the star adjuster was not part of the coiled section of the spring.
adjuster delete was used on cars that did circuit racing. if you had an "off", over gravel grass and hard standing, rolling backwards at speed, the action of stopping the car would not adjust the brakes up to BIND.
if you stretch a standard spring to fit without the adjuster the coils bind on the star wheel. rather than a straight sectoion to the hook end, and you have in general stretched it beyond its point of normal return. It does however work, if necessary
its a lockheed duo servo set up the same set up used on many car brands the world over
the 9 inch brakes are usually on six and small v8 cars and are just as likley to lock up when paired with disc brakes up front as their 10 and 11 inch cousins.
Foreign mopar markets (assembly rather than export) persistend with 9 inch until late 70s.
most were slant 6 hemi 6 and 273/318 markets
10 inch brakes came with the 360 in 76-78
