Subject:      Addendum to question on Parking Brake Cable
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I forgot to mention that both rear brakes have been adjusted and that if I
adjust the drivers side any tighter, I can not put the drum back on or if I
do get it on, it is to tight to turn.

In checking my rear brakes (1991 Westy), I found that when the parking
brake is engaged, the passenger side cable engages the brake on that side
much quicker than the one on the driver side.   When I look at where the
emergency brake connects to the pivot bar (?) on the driver side there is a
lot of slack compared to the passenger side.  The cable is not broken and
does engage, but it engages after the passenger side cable.

Is this normal or do the cables stretch over time and that I need to
replace that cable.

Thanks,

Harold
