Tost Lilliput brake question
If memory serves me, the Libelle only had an adjustment at the wheel. Guess you could add one at the stick? You may want to move the arm on the brake one spline to make it closer to brake application.
Hope this helps, JJ

Tost Lilliput brake question
Vintage Brake is great, but I’m thinking your a do it yourself guy. You can “ spike” your shoes, by gluing 40 grit sandpaper to the drum, then actuate the brake and hand spin it around the drum. This will take a while, but eventually the shoes will match your drum. Spiking is the most important thing to get good breaking. As delivered, most shoes only touch one end of one pad, little wonder the breaking action sucks!
Have fun and don’t forget to remove the sandpaper, JJ
