I agree with George !!! My mechanical model A brakes wqork just as well as more modern hydraulic drum brakes . I think that a lot of the problem is in the way the brake rods are set up. It doesn't make a lot of difference how much money has been spent or how good the brakes have been rebuilt if the brake rods haven't been setup correctly . Slack in the brake rod connections is a major cause of poor brakes .
