Default Re: Model A Update!

Nice pictures and I'm glad you posted them. You should remove the rear drums and correct the springs holding the parking brake bands. Your picture shows the springs in the closest holes to the support carrier, and they belong in the outside holes. I made the same mistake years ago, and I also discovered it when I looked at a picture I took of the brakes.

With the springs hooked in the close holes on the band, the spring ends can catch on the carrier and cause problems.
