Re: Brake shoes
Also, the A drum is steel, and the hydraulic drum is cast iron.

Re: Brake shoes
In mid 31 Ford went to cast iron drums The original spoked cast iron front drums were made as one piece with the hubs . The original cast rear drums mostly looked like the new cast rear drums . The original Cast drums were what we use to call cast steel, they would usually bend rather than crack like some of the cast iron drums sold now . I've never cracked or bent any of them . The new cast iron drums are fine for me , if I was buying new .

Hydraulic brakes are just reverse, the shoes in the front are larger and the fronts are 60 percent and the rears are 40 percent. If you are re-doing your brakes I would suggest you use cast iron drum for mechanical or hydraulic. Ron |
