Steve,

Sounds just like a typical Model A Forum mentioned Amateur Restoration Project for Mechanical Brakes that many of us read about for the past (20) years.

Not much different from all of the Model A Forum mentioned Amateur Restoration Projects from individuals trying to rebuild engines that we heard about for the past 20 years; i.e., after only 300 miles, on their newly rebuilt engine, Babbitt is knocking and rings and pistons are so tight, the engine is burning up.

Always difficult to determine what one is getting when buying one's new Model A.

Many former Model A Forum question sometimes went like this :

I just bought a Model A and it has a knocking noise ........ WHAT IS IT? LOL

FWIW: I feel confident that with your "Can-Do" attitude, you will seek advice, ask intelligent questions, learn, and get it done correctly.
