Re: Mechanical Brakes
I have to agree with Eagle in what he has said,"Poorly done hydraulic s are a safety disaster, as are poorly done mechanicals." Shortly after I bought my car I came VERY close to "T" Bone a car at a local intersection. I hope the reason the accident didn't happen was because I was on my way to church. Shortly after the incident I jacked the car in the air and removed ALL of the Hydraulic equipment and rebuilt, replaced and adjusted the NEW mechanical system. I did replace the original drums with cast iron ones. I have had over 12 years of driving on these brakes with NO problems at all other then an occasional "click" on the adjusters.
