The Ford Barn

Been working on the brakes trying to get rid of pulsating. Except for that she stops well. BUT... that pulsating is driving me nuts.

The front drums mic'd out below the 130 thou minimum (according to the parts books). One was under 100 thou.

Found the shaft stud was trashed http://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A2051.html. When I first looked it was only finger tight. When I tightened it up the wedge http://www.mikes-afordable.com/product/A2050.html would not allow the brakes to release.

The shoes all look new and you can tell there has been work done in this area. In reality just the right front is "questionable" in my mind.

Mike's got some $ today only because they were cheaper than their competition. (I shop around. Pretty happy with all vendors.)

First effort on brakes. Wish me luck!
