The Ford Barn

I got some numbers for wheel cyls that work with the rear brakes from a 1946-48 Lincoln backing plates, I find that they bolt right up to 1946-48 Ford front spindles... Found them looking at pictures @ Napa... 14493 and 14494... Lincoln came with 1" bore on the rear cyls,these have a 1 1/8" bore, and oddly enough, the center of the bore lines up with the bore of the old cylinders, important because they thusly line up with the web of the brake shoes... The angle of the threads for the hoses is great also...
None of my own invention, even so... Karl

PS, does any one have the shoe number? (12 by 1 3/4" shoes)
