Hello everyone,
My dad and I just bought a 1969 Plymouth GTX and one of the first things we are doing is the brakes. We are trying to figure out if these brakes require self adjusters or not. They are 11" drums, and are currently fitted with manual adjusters. Looking at the maintenance manual, it appears only heavy duty brakes had manual adjusters. The brake shoes look like they are for standard brakes, given the number of holes in the bottom of the shoes. Any ideas?
Here is what the maintince manual shows for 11" and heavy duty brakes respectively:
11"
Heavy duty
