Default Re: Front Hub Advice Needed

Before the Model A era a few makes of cars, Chrysler comes to mind, had hydraulic brakes. It was determined that these cars needed molded linings as hydraulic brake pressure exceeded the foot pressure of mechanical. Thus for a period of time cars with hydraulic brakes used molded linings and cars with mechanical brakes used woven lining. If you have molded linings they are not for a Model A. Yes, lots of pedal pressure but you cannot press hard enough for proper operation.
