Re: Boiling Bros.
A plug for BB drums, they are much heavier than stock or the import drums.
If I remember correctly they can be turned to .090 due to thicker drum material notable by a much heavier weighed drum.

Re: Boiling Bros.
Like Rich B, I used Brake and Equipment Warehouse https://brakeandequipment.com/
So did my brother. I would recommend them to everyone. They did my relining and arcing, and IIRC the shoes were back to me within a week. |

Re: Boiling Bros.
O the shipping cost could hurt really bad, if sending our 39’ wide 5 drums .

Re: Boiling Bros.
Have your drums turned at your local auto machine shop (I had two pair done last week, and was surprised the price has risen to $25 per drum). Then measure them and send that measurement with your shoe cores to Brake Warehouse.

Re: Boiling Bros.
Does anyone have a front shoe Raybestos or other shoe manufacturer's part number for the Lincoln 12" X 1-3/4" brake shoes? With this number, I'd hope that different shoe hardness could be found.

My books show the original Lincoln 12 X 1-3/4 to be a 29. These were also used on Buicks. 29's have not been available for years. I've successfully used 12 X 2, 194's on original early Lincoln brakes. 194's are also a Buick shoe. Hope this helps. |

Re: Boiling Bros.
I've used these BS29 shoes when rebuilding a few Lincoln and C4 Racing plates.
Don't have a pic of the Lincolns; but the C4 pic should give you the idea. Last edited by rich b; 08-05-2022 at 09:39 AM. Reason: extra |

Re: Boiling Bros.
Sounds like the first step is to pull a drum or two and see what the drum surface and brake shoes look like. If some grease or oil got onto the shoes, you will have no brakes, if there are hot spots on the drums, you know this has been a problem and there has been overheating. Check the linkage and master cylinder size. Also, look for something that is keeping you from actually generating pressure in the brake lines like a restriction in brake pedal travel or insufficient travel of the master cylinder piston. If you are pumping air from the m/c, it will bottom out before you make pressure.
Just some starting points before you start changing things. |
