Mel Gross cast iron brake drums

[olut]

OK, it looks, Randy can do it all. Well, who is Randy, does he have a website ?

I am in some sort of trouble with my front brake drums of my 1930 Fordor Town Sedan Delux Briggs, the entire front brakes are completely redone, new drums from MACs but when decelerating the vehicle with moderate brake force, the brakes rattle with serious vibrations throughout the entire front suspension up to the brake pedal. I had the same problem after redoing the brakes but keeping the old drums, so I decided, I go for new ones. The rattling comes from one spot of a full turn, where either the distance to the shoes gets closer or the surface is different.

any ideas ??
Best Greetings

I'm a little surprised that Randy uses bonded linings. From my experience, bonded linings are too hard and don't work so well. I'm putting woven linings on with rivets. Hope they are better than my bonded ones.
If Randy has a website, I too would like to know it so I can follow up.

My understanding is that Bonded works better with cast drums and woven works best with steel, I use bonded on my Slant Sedan with cast and they stop perfectly and use woven on my Roadster with steel which also stops very well but do fade, not a real problem because the Roadster is not used much and when it is I am very aware of this and drive accordingly
