Off by 3/4 of an inch.
I just switched out my front end from my 30 town sedan with that of a 30 coupe. the front end fit perfictly on the coupe but the brake lines for the town sedan were 3/4 of an inch too short. should I just ajust the brake lines or is there something else I should do?

Dan,
With what you've given here...I'd start with adjusting! If that isn't satisfactory, pull the front drums and check it out. |

I pulled the whole front ends I didn't do anything with the drums or hubs. Shouldn't they line up? Why did the coupe fit and not the town sedan?

Re: Off by 3/4 of an inch.
did you pull the brake adjusting arm back with your hand to take up the slack in the brake arm?

Yes, I did pull them back as far as they would go. I even tried to force them back. They are as far back as they can go.

Re: Off by 3/4 of an inch.
Are the levers at the same angle on both axles?

What I didn't do was step on the brakes to bring the rods foward. Maybe I'll try that.

Well that didn.t work. I adjusted the rods and they seem just right now. They are tight, and it stops good. Just think that it was strange that I'd be off by that much.
