Passenger Emergency Brake
I attached some pictures of the passenger emergency brake. Can you guys look at it and verify I have it all on there correctly? With it on, when I put the hub on it does not want to spin. With the emergency brake band off the hub spins. The emergency brake has brand new lining, would that need to be sanded down any? Thanks for the help.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
I don't see anything wrong. Do you have new cast iron drums?
Back in the 60's I bought some of those lightweight 3 legged jack stands, and had one collapse on me. Luckily I only got a bump and a rude awakening. I would never work on a car or slide under a car with those. A new set of 4 leg stands with a cast iron ratchet post is much cheaper than any doctor bill. |

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
I don't know if it makes a difference but my cotter pins were facing out when I disassembled mine. Why don't you just adjust the e-brake rod 1 turn and see if it helps.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Do you mean the rod that runs to the handle in the car? If so those are not hooked up yet.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Here's the last one I did about a year ago. The new cast drums slipped on fine. The customer had the new shoes and drums waiting for me, so I suppose he might have had the drums turned after they were swaged, but I didn't have to sand the parking brake lining.
On the 1930 AA truck I worked on, I did have to use my belt sander on the parking brake linings before the drums would slip on. |

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
I've seen some problems when the studs were welded to the drum, but as long as they are correctly swaged I've seen them either way with no problems. Where the toggles are pinned to the ends of the parking brake band, the brackets have an offset that lays against the carrier, so the bands must go on with the offset facing in.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Can anybody post a good close picture of the passenger side with the e-brake on. Tom W. do you have a picture of the other side like the one you posted of the drivers side? Do you sand the lining like you would anything else.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
I don't have a picture of the right rear, but it would be a mirror image of the left.
In fact I think there is a computer program to do the mirror image of my picture. |

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
TIP# 187: When doing some STRANGE BRAKES, leave one side assembled, for a sample, while you rebuild the OTHER side.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Bro Bill,
It's FUN to flip a friends' car Pic & give him a BIG pic of it It's also fun to flip a close up of your OWN face & compare them, side by side A friends' Dog laid MOTIONLESSLY, on her back, in the sun, with all 4 legs straight up, for an HOUR!---"Is thet Dog DAID"?----"NO, she jist does that"!!! One Guy stenciled his Model A, upside down, on a WHITE "T" shirt. He called it his "LUBE CHART"! Bill Alreadyflipped

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
If you installed new linings and rivets, the rivets at the ends fit into a counter sink. The head of the rivet needs to be flush with the band if not it needs to be cleaned up. Also the trailing edge might need a little beveling, yours looks squared off in the photo.

Dollar Bill you guys amaze me what you can do on this site. Never knew a picture could be turned around like that. Thanks... Bill W. you are right about keeping one side done and working on the other but in our case he had no e-brakes on this car to start. Redmodelt. You are correct. We did not bevel the edges. I will do that today. Do you think that will help the hub to go on easier? P.S. Neal, alias Franchise 24 is my son. That is why I am so interested in this thread. Thanks for all the responses.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
If you ever HAVE to use the emergency brake, like on a downhill run away, apply it VERY slow & easy ! A friend applied his suddenly, it ripped out the lining rivets & the band was like a PRETZEL, without salt on it!

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Emergency brakes are often confusing. Remember, parts catalogs often have EXPLODED views, which can be a help.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Early parking brake bands have forged fittings for the toggles to pin to, and later bands had stamped.
These two pictures show the difference, and the bottom side in each picture is the side that MUST be against the carrier plate. |

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Ours is like the one that is rusted. Looking at your picture are the cotter pins facing in towards the carrier plate? Thanks again..

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Are the E bands on the right way? There is an inner and outer to E bands! If they are on wrong, then the bands will not sit flush on the carriage and with be on an angle. All 4 of the pins should be head facing out and cotter pins on the inside.

Re: Passenger Emergency Brake
Happy to say we got the passenger side sanded some and the rods hooked up and both sides are working perfectly. Thanks for all the replies.

Everything is powder coated. I spent many a weekends grinding on all the parts to smooth out all the surface rust. I didn't intend to powder coat everything, but one thing led to another and well you can guess from there.... Zack |
