1929 Essex rod breaks
Hi
I have a 29 Essex 6 with Rod Breaks. I recently took it for its yearly MOT (Minestry of Transport) test in the UK and they failed it on the breaks not being sufficient. I have now had all the shoes relined and each wheel now locks up fine when pulled on individually. However when all 4 are pressed together they are very weak. Does anybody know the right way to set them up or are there any links on the webb that can give me an overview on how to set the breaks up properly.
Many thanks
