I will start off by saying I’m kinda building a prewar hot rod out of my 29 sedan. I know wrong site I should post on the HAMB but I like the Barn too and I’m Going start here. I’m rebuilding my 35 front axle with 32 spindles, and 32 spring perches. And I have a I good 35-36 front backing plate and a set of useable 12” hydro Drums I’m hoping they are the same as mechanical brake drums. So I would just have to find another backing plate to complete the upgrade i’m thinking of for the fronts to the larger and wider 35-36 brakes. I’m also planning on keeping my stock A rears so I can maintain the parking brake. I have a Flathead Teds Kit to install as well during my rebuild. Has anyone ever had experience using 35-36 fronts with stock A rears. Thanks for any hints, Tips, even flames I can take it. Ben
