Well Brent I appreciate you advise and your honesty.
This is my first stock model A and I am learning about corrosion and mechanical brakes !
The brake crossover is just one of the parts that requires attention .
The drums were steel and way oversized , the cam assemblies for the rear brake actuation were seized , the shafts turned but the floating bar that moves the shoes were rusted solid.
As a result I had Randy Gross set me up with cast iron drums front and rear with fresh shoes.
I will be studying my options will the cross shaft before proceeding.
