Re: old Brake Floaters
About 20 years ago I rebuilt the brake system on 3 of my cars, an early '28 open pickup, a late '28 roadster and a '34 roadster. I used the then available floaters and woven lining which I had bonded to the shoes by a truck shop. I found it necessary to taper the leading edges of the linings a little to avoid grabbing. I have been very satisfied with the results and can easily lock up all 4 wheels at the speeds I drive the cars.
