David,
        I was talking to Doug Jennings (Tiger Auto), about this, and he said
that the series 5 self-adjusting brakes didn't work very well and the
very late series 5 ('68) returned to the manual adjusting cylinders. He
said the best thing is to make them manual again and adjust them through
the brake drum hole. For guys that want them auto-adjusting, there are
left and right side adjusters (they are different!). One day, I was
correcting a brake problem on a series 5, and I found them reversed and
of course they don't work that way.
