Driveshaft parking brake adjustment

Does anyone know how to adjust the parking brake on the driveshaft. The parking brake has not worked for awhile and i drove not realizing that i pulled the brake handle. It started to squeel when the brake is applied and the noise seem to be coming from the rear end. I was going to put the cobra on the rack and see if i could take off the pads and sand them and re-install.

In the future, you'd be better served posting in the Superformance forum on Superformance specific inquiries.

email me rick@timemachinesauto.com and I will forward the factory tech bulletin. If the brake has been driven with it on a distance the pads are likely toast. We have one in the shop now doing the update and new pads.

Yes the pads in that thing are literally about the size of a healthy peanut. The adjustment procedure is in SCOF. Pretty Straightforward, you can get the pads from superformance, RT doesn't show that they are from some other vehicle...Maybe a vespa?

If you drive with the brake on for more than 20 feet they are probably toast.

The brake pads are proprietary to Superformance
