Bobby, I once thought that hydraulics were the panacea for Model A brakes.However, with some of the vintage backing plates and drums becoming very difficult to find I decided to rebuildthe mechanical brake system.First you need to get a copy of the excellant video tape "How to Stop On a Dime". (Bratton's, Snyder's, most any of the parts house will have it.Then watch it carefully (multiple times). If you follow the steps shown you will have brakes that will work very well for a model A.I can slide all four wheels with very little effort. Regards. |
