Subject:      '80 Westi- new brakes,  now how to adjust them?

Hi Volks,

I put in new rear brakes the other day, as well as a
new master cylinder.  It went OK, if you want to
consider throwing 2 days away "OK;" in any case, the
brakes work OK, I guess.  I don't think the peddle is
soft, but it is hard to tell because it goes so far
down before it stops the van.  How can I adjust the
brakes and/or the peddle free play so the brakes work
as they should, like, out of the showroom.  I thought
the rear brakes were self adjusting.  I adjusted them
manually to close to proper, thinking the self adjust
mechanism would do the rest.  Now what?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Phil, 80 Westi.
