Thanks for the info and help

So if any of you guys that bought extra springs would like to part with 4 of them please send me a PM.

I got all of the expander and adjuster parts cleaned up tonight. My expander parts seem to be in very good shape. However the plungers for the adjusters have been "modified" by brazing on some brass.

I would presume this was to take up the slack caused by worn out brake pads. One of the plungers had the brazing actually off of it but still in the adjuster housing being held "in place" by the old grease/dirt mixture.

My question is if I can simply grind off the old brazing to bring these plungers back to speck. Would that be the best way to remove them. The manual doesn't give any specs for them to suggest when they would be worn out. Or does anyone have any NOS spares kicking around that they could measure for me.
