Tim, Thanks for the input.

There is one thing. My back plates don't have holes for adjustment of
the star adjuster. From the Bentley, it appears that they have made a
hole in the drum, and the adjustment is done by turning the drum so the
hole is at the top, then the star adjuster is turned. Very different
from any of my previous experience.

Regards,

John Rodgers
