James,

Don't forget the rear end, too. I don't think any Spits had self adjusting 
brakes. My 76 doesn't. There is a 1/4" stud in the bottom of the backing plate 
that needs to be turned  to adjust them.  Raise up one back wheel at a time, 
block the front wheels, take off the e-brake, and take it out of gear. If the 
wheel spins freely, they need adjusting. you should be able to feel a bit of 
drag.

Leon
