Brake Systems - DELCO-Moraine Automatic Adjuster: Description

Hydraulic single anchor type brake (without eccentric) with Bendix type shoes. Brake shoe anchor pins are fixed in backing plate and require no adjustment. Automatic adjusting mechanism consists of a link, actuating lever, pawl and pawl return spring (mounted on secondary brake shoe). System also contains an override pivot plate and spring, which acts to protect against binding linkage.

NOTE: Some earlier Corvettes with special large high performance brakes have actuator mounted on primary shoe and override spring is not used.
