Definitely the way to go as far as I'm concerned. Those auto adjusters
are more trouble than they're worth. They were actually adjusting my
drums the wrong way on the Ford rearend, so I pulled 'em out. They still
don't stay put though so I've always got a soft pedal on first
application. quite annoying. Time to do a disk conversion I think =)
