Ok, Back to obscure and inane questions about MVs.

Who can tell me how to measure the dimensions of
a BSP plug on the tracta joint of a 1940's
Daimler Dingo? It's 1/2 across the threads, is
this 1/4" BSP or 3/8" BSP?

Also,

Brake adjustment on an M35, the adjuster nuts on
the inside of the wheels, you turn them which
direction to snug the shoe against the drum? And
how far do you back it off? 1/4 turn? 1/8th Turn?

How's that Joe? ;-)

Major adjustment is more involved than this 'minor adjustment', involving
removal of wheels and an inspection port on front of drum and feeler gauges.

Looking at the back of the backing plate, the right adjuster turns
clockwise and the left adjuster turns counter clockwise.....From the manual:

T M 9 - 2 3 2 0 - 2 0 9 - 2 0 - 3 - 2

1 3 - 9 .

Also,

Brake adjustment on an M35, the adjuster nuts on
the inside of the wheels, you turn them which
direction to snug the shoe against the drum? And
how far do you back it off? 1/4 turn? 1/8th Turn?

How's that Joe? ;-)

1/4 BSP

Adjust the brakes by turning the front shoe adjusting cam clock wise, to
bring lining into contact with the drum, until the brake drags slightly when
the wheel is turned by hand. Back off the adusting cam just enough to allow
the wheel to rotate freely. Repeat this procedure at the rear shoe
adjusting cam. turning the cam counter clockwise. Make both adjustments at
each wheel as uniform as possible. Repeat the operation on all other
wheels.
