Re: Centering Brakes?
Quote:
If the drums, spindles, etc. are "true", then even if the shoes were not centered the OP would not be reporting that "the wheel turns freely for 180 degrees then rubs for the other 180." The "high" shoe would be rubbing all the way around the drum in that case. I agree that properly rebuilt, maintained and adjusted stock brakes work good. However, Flathead Ted's parts on the same properly rebuilt, maintained and adjusted brakes are noticeably better than stock. Give them a try. I'm confident that with your experience and expertise with Model A brakes that a system that you would do with Ted's kit would be amazing.

Re: Centering Brakes?
I agree with Dick Steinkamp's remarks. With Flat head Ted's set up the shoes self center. The tracks are actually not part of the system any more. Ted's setup along with cast iron drums will make for a great brake system. I would do the fronts first as that will make the most difference.
