I locked up the mechanical brakes on my model t in heave traffic once. Pulled back the hand brake, stomped on the pedal, and heard the tires screech. Kept me from rear-ending the car in front of me. Mechanical brakes if set up properly are fine. John[/QUOTE]
The original brakes might lock up the
original tyres but if you had been following the thread, we are talking about the 16" wheels with more grip Even then, it took you both the ordinary brke AND the handbrake to lock up the wheels
