All Models Except Beretta

Brakes are hydraulic single anchor and use Bendix type shoes. Anchor pins for brake shoes are fixed to backing plate and are non-adjustable. Automatic system is made up of a link, actuating lever, pawl and pawl spring. Pawl spring is mounted on secondary brake shoe. System uses an override pivot plate and spring to protect against binding linkage.

NOTE: Some models use an adjuster pawl with a separate blade to contact star wheel. This system does not use the override spring.
