  1. Thanks. I failed to mention that most picture sites are blocked by my work so I could not see the diagram. Now that I'm home I can see it and yes, that's what I was (next) remembering.
  2. Ok, I may have been wrong about the location and style of the adjuster, but I stick by my original assertion that there is one. Just been a long time since I worked on a PL411... I'm trying (and failing) to find a diagram or picture of the brakes online, but my next memory tells me there is an offset peg that goes through a hole in the shoe that is used to move it closer to the drum. Can someone confirm if I am correct?
  3. I agree with the other posters that there is constant pressure on the master cylinder that is causing the brakes to lock. I had the same thing happen to my clutch m/c, which would cause the clutch to disengage as the pressure built. HOWEVER, I disagree when you say the front brakes are not adjustable. You do not adjust the wheel cylinders, but you do adjust the graduated peg that goes between the shoes. Turning this takes up slack due to worn shoes and/or drums.
  4. I bought it in Santa Rosa. A few more pictures and a lot of detail of the white car at my no-longer-maintained cardomain site - http://www.cardomain.com/ride/534452
  5. I have a few pictures of that car, since I owned it when that photo was taken. :-) The car was very clean but sadly had been hit in the back. These pictures are circa 2003: Also check out pictures of the '66 PL411 (that I sold in 2005):
