If your pad to rotor clearance is good and you either have too much slack in the cables or not enough throw in the parking brake end of the setup. What are you using to actuate the parking brake? The OEM foot pedal?




Yes I'm using the OEM foot pedal - just got the car, which is my first classic Mopar. The LX-based cars had another setup in the rear - but still a mechanical parking brake and it worked as they require in sweden. I know it's a different setup with a drum inside the hub, but it's still mechanical I was thinking...

As for "emergency brake", it was never intended, nor designed to perform that function. It is a holding brake, nothing more. Wishing it were something else is futile.



I hear you - but the thing should at least show the needles moving on the brake bench - right now they're dead

I'll try to adjust the rear brakes closer to the disc to see what happens. I'll let you know. Thank you guys! Awesome board. And a quick picture of the car in question:
