Re: Switching to juice brake question
Strongly agree. This is what I did on my 40 and I would match my stopping power with any disc brake mod. Had rears arced and new wheel cylinders and running the Speedway Bendix set up on the front. Great set up.

Re: Switching to juice brake question
NO!!! There really is NO backing plate from a different vehicle (OTHER THAN the EARLY LINCOLNS) that will fit, and most importantly WORK, on a banjo rear end. DD

Re: Switching to juice brake question
Thx, the 1939/40 will work but guess cause of the popularity of the conversion to the front Lincoln Bendix & rear Ford Lockheed theyre hard to find.

Re: Switching to juice brake question
If you don't have an in depth understanding of the various brake system components required to work togather, you are going to be much better off purchasing a complete kit. If you have to replace mismatched parts it is going to take a lot more time and money in the long run.

You have to realize that the reason you can easily get away with using the old Lockheed's on the rear (in conjunction with the new Bendix brakes on the front) is because the rear brakes do such a small percentage of the braking as compared to the front axle brakes. The BENDIX "self-energizing" brakes do just that...they self-energize to give a much more effective braking ability considering a similar INPUT force from your brake pedal. DD |

Re: Switching to juice brake question
DD, I do understand your logic and the engineering / physics on front vs rear brakes & if I could have just bought the '40 rears would have gone for the front Lincoln Bendix's now but had to buy all four of the '40 brake plate assy's. Per u & Mart and a few others it sounds like I'll probably as I said earlier end up where u and Mart indicate. These came up and as the guy wouldn't just sell the rears & all were so nice I bought all four & they are in great shape. I don't feel that I am wasting my time or $ using the Lockheed fronts as I have them any way and for getting the entire juice system on line will use them with Rich's from Early V8 Garage's bracket and master cylinder. All will be the same except the change to the M/T Boling Bros. front Bendix setup which will cost me the same now or when I change to them probably next winter off season.
Thx for the advise

Re: Switching to juice brake question
Will do J, Rich from Early V8 Garage made another interesting point ( may have been just a selling point from him so I take with a grain of doubt) He said the Master Cyl he sells he does something propietary ( just wouldn't tell me what) that makes it have a bit more umph. We'll see,

Re: Switching to juice brake question
I have given up on 40 style brakes, too much to adjust and difficult to make work correctly. The lincoln bendix are fool proof and a snap to adjust. Same with disc brakes. I have disc front/bendix back on a 36 and a 41.

Re: Switching to juice brake question
Wonder if he's referring to his retro fit kit in total, instead of just the master; in which case he could have changed the pedal ratio a little.

Re: Switching to juice brake question
I don't think we covered this so, are the hub assemblies for the Lincoln Bendix assy's & the Lockheed assy's common?

They are common to each other. They can easily be found still attached to worn-out 1940 or 1941 Ford drums. That is probably your best bet because that way, you know for a fact that they are not, for instance, F-1s or F-100s, or even off of a Studebaker or Gremlin, for that matter. Also, you know for a fact that the seller didn't remove the drums and studs in such a manner as to bend the flanges and FUBAR-ing the stud holes. DD |
