The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Brake de-conversion question

Tear down the juice brakes and make sure they work. Juice brakes will fail just sitting around. You still need to be sure you have the shoes arced to fit the drums too. You also need to inspect for screwy design issues.

Every older car that was new to me has had the wheels off and brakes inspected before I drive them.
