Flathead Ted brakes Hello everybody: question about Flathead Ted’s delux version brake floater system. On the front brakes should the top Long spring be installed?
Thanks, Your help is appreciated. Jim m |
Re: Flathead Ted brakes coatings03, timely topic. I hope you get a lot of good information, I'm going to buy the de luxe kit myself. If you wish to talk to an expert on them, call Bob Grady 925 933 1154.The deluxe version is all he will use on jobs he performs. He's in Pleasant Hill, CA, nice person. Randy Gross near you may also be of help, I haven't talked to him about the Flathead Ted stuff, but maybe?

Re: Flathead Ted brakes I have Flathead Teds deluxe kit in my '30. I put a spring in the top, but a much lighter than the stock one.

Re: Flathead Ted brakes I have a friend in the US who has worked on more Model As than I'm ever likely to even see. He says he has been asked to remove more of those brake setups than he can remember.
I have no experience with them, just repeating what he says. |
Re: Flathead Ted brakes I also have a friend in USA ( maybe same guy ) same thing . but I told him send me all the ones you take out , so far none turned up, I like them & use the std kit , no they won,t fix stuffed brakes, but sure as hell improve good brakes , watch north islands clubs video , So all those who don,t like them send them to me ill pay the freight ,

Re: Flathead Ted brakes I have 2 Model A's, one with Flathead Ted's brake floaters and one with recently restored stock brakes. By far, Flathead Ted's brake floaters are superior.

Re: Flathead Ted brakes I second Bob’s comment.

Re: Flathead Ted brakes They are PITA to install for minimum gain. Think again.
|
Re: Flathead Ted brakes I have a set ready to install. Everything I have read says to eliminate the top long spring as it defeats the self actualizing feature if used. I have no opinion on them since I jut got them and they are still in the box.
|
Re: Flathead Ted brakes Leave the top spring off. I have two A"s with flat head ted"s brakes an they are great a lot better then original brakes.
