One thing I did was swap the adjusters side for side (Fords have a right and left hand), then put a spacer in the middle of each one to the correct adjustment.

When the adjuster tries to adjust the brakes, it only succeeds in tightening the adjuster against the spacers.

If I do need to adjust the brakes tighter I just have to hand file the spacers the appropriate amount.
