help ajusting rear drums?

[steveo3002]

ive noticed in my polo , if i click the handbrake up one click the foot pedal is much nicer and how id like it to be

now the drums and shoes are all new , with a new fitting kit , they're supposed to self ajust but you can tweak the wedge to fine tune em

question is , whats the ideal ajusment on drums ..should i get a smidge of binding with the handbrake ? or how should i go about ajusting em so i get a nice pedal

:)De-adjust the handbrake cables so that the levers that pivot on the shoes and is connected to the cable are right back to their stops. Set the shoe adjuster wedges so that there is light scuffing of the shoes when the drum is turned. You may need to grind away the wear lip on the drums to make doing all that easier.

Jut re-read your post and see your drums are new so forget what I said about grinding off the wear lip!
