Re: Flaathead Ted brake kit install
Absolutely go for it. I'd love to be the USA road test for a set. The Lincoln setup is just too expensive for a lot of us. My 40 would be my test case. I've been wanting to do something with the brakes for years. Come on Ted, you can do it!

Re: Flaathead Ted brake kit install
Ted,
I have your kit installed and saw a little improvement, but nothing like you show in your videos. I noticed you mentioned that the shoe material needs to be soft. Does that mean the woven fabric material? Thanks, Brad

Re: Flaathead Ted brake kit install
Ted, why are the brake linings we should use with the mechanical energizer kit such a mystery. Can you give us the correct mfg. and their part # & where to get? Your direction to the FB Model A site and the search "whats good for a A is good for a v8" didn't find anything?
Thx

Re: Flaathead Ted brake kit install
I looked at the Ham and that's quite a involved fit up I am hoping to do something simpler than that Lincoln set up ,I will put these through the dealers if successful ,this may need to be in the winter for testing ,
Brake linings The lining numbers I have given are good to use but I don't know if these are USA numbers , I will look into it and report back .What's good for a Model A is good for a v8 ,any search on brakes on the A site will give some useful info. Ted |
