Thank you.
I'm pretty sure they are the molded type.
I had woven on my A and with everything set up right.....I had GOOD brakes.

There are some small, fine "grooves" on the drums.....does this matter if changing over to woven?

If the cast iron meat is there, have them turned so that you start out with the optimum surface.

If you do not yet have a copy of the '32 service bulletins in reprint form, I recommend that you purchase one and follow the brake adjustment procedure on pages 2 through 5 of the June, 1932 service bulletin. The relationships of the pedal, cross shaft, and levers on the backing plates to one another are critical to good brake performance (as you likely already know from your Model A).

Thank you DavidG.

Yes, I went through all that on my A. What a difference when done.

Well, I got her moved from the front part of the garage to the back shop area.
Now to get at her.

Great looking pickup! My 33 is in similar shape, just a nice old survivor.
