Ron, if your disc brakes are from a 1979 Cadillac Eldorado Rear Caliper you are supposed to use the parking brake a lot in order to keep the pads adjusted. The Manny Brake System comes with these brakes as well as another disk brake system that I can't think of the name for...begins with S and three letters...

I think that's what I remember reading,, rob, thanks for verifiying it
for me.
now all I have to do is get the Caddy calipers connected to the parking
brake lever.
The guy that installed them seems to have forgotten that little detail.
