Here ya go LMAO. I used a dremal tool to smooth out the edge of the adjuster.

I would measure 5he depth of the brake you are using to make sure there is no difference in a deuce brake, and whatever trailer brake you have. Also pull the anchor pin and measure that. Obviously something isn't right. I would be very leery of welding on the adjuster like that.

^^ I agree, you are messing with your and everyone elses life around you when you scotch hobble things together like that. You need to find out what the issue is.

OR, ............... did someone put the wrong wheel cylinder pins in your brakes?
There is a way to measure.

I have seen this problem on another site, and the issue was caused due to the upper and lower hold down pin hardware not being assembled correctly.

Here's a video guys it's on both sides upfront. I spoke with White Owl Surplus this morning and he tried his best to help but to no avail. Here's the video I hope you guys can help. https://youtu.be/N50AF0fMh9M

Have you got a cup like retainer on both ends of the springs, if so they have been assembled incorrectly as there should only be one retainer on each spring and a cup like washer on the lower pin as highlighted in diagram.

If that is the case, then his wheel cylinders are likely to fail and or jamb.

I guess that is why you figure out the issue and not cobb job it...

I had the same problem with a set of non military shoes. After a couple days of trying to figure what was wrong I simply welded a spacer on each shoe so it would make contact with the cam adjuster. It worked fine, I figured I just had a bad set of brake shoes.
