Had our last snow this week in upper NY State ,garage temperature now livable,
power back on and fallen trees cleared after ice storm so  am back at
my resuscitation efforts to revive a dead 67.5 SPL 311..New rings rod
bearings; starter,fuel and oil pumps and ignition made workable. now
brakes--drums and rotors out for turning;little wear,only some illimois rust
after 15 years rest (linings ,pads almost like new).  Will someone educate me
re front "self-adjusting"?  (The basic hydraulic actuation is pretty
elementary) Motorbooks Manual says".......move progressively along the
post...friction stops,which grip the post,provide a positive datum to which
the piston returns" (friction stops ?). Later ,before putting in pads, "...the
pistons must be returned to the base of the bore."( How??). I have removed the
piston-cylinders to free up the pads,but not dissembled them. Thanks for your
help
