[Miata] Brake adjuster

[Larry Alster]

Well I guess it doesn't work well since virtually miata I've ever seen has handle creep as the pads wear and I guess since Bill C. said he adjusted brakes on every oil change when he ran Dealer Alt in NJ I guess he figured it didn't work very well either.

  "Figure M - This automatic adjuster. Its purpose is to compensate such
  that the travel of the parking brake handle does not increase as the
  brake pads wear."

  Hahahah.  And from Lance Schall, who certainly knows more about these
  cars than I.
