What? You going to destroy the dreams of multiple wanna be authors that repeat what they read elsewhere? There has to be a patent out there just waiting for the "better board"! Sorry, but I just can't sit here and condone the shattering of such lofty dreams. :D

Marco, Buster T.:cool: just LAFFS himself silly when I tell him "THEY" are still tryin' to make a BETTER MOUSE TRAP:D:D Bill W.
 
Following Marco, Patrick and Purdy's suggestions I now have good braking action on all 4 wheels and no overheating. Thanks guys, I am very grateful for your help! :)

I think previously the brake pedal action was just taking up the slack and not moving the front levers back far enough to actually spread the shoes. I still don't understand why that was causing the front drums to overheat when driving along normally without using the brakes. :confused:

I was kinda under the impression that you were trying to adjust them incorrectly. It seemed to me that you had the wedges way too tight. Glad you got working properly.
