Backed myself into a corner here.

My friend came over to help me late summer, and he dissasembled the brakes.  The bootleg manual I bought off ebay only has a small photocopied picture that I cant make out to well.  I need a large high quality .jpg file of the brakes with the drum off, but all hardware installed.

Gday Joe,

I have just sent you some pictures of my 60 CDV brakes.   Hope they can show you what you want.

But, if you are actually after ones from a 59, they are different to the 60, as in 1960, Cadillac went to self-adjusting brakes.

Further, if you like, I can send you a description of the method for adjusting, as the Manual explains the process inh great detail, using feeler gauges through the drum slot, etc.

Bruce,
The Tassie Devil(le),
60 CDV
