‘35 Hydraulic conversion Reporting back
The conversion to 2”X12” Boling Bros Lincoln brakes on front, ‘40’s type Lockheeds on rear with V8 Garage Master Cyl conversion kit went well! Had a few hiccups that FB guys got me thru! While is only been 100 miles or so I notice a big improvement over the stock mechanical brakes & did almost immediately! On the rears as I couldn’t find a local shop to do the arc’ing on the shoes per FB guys suggestions I sanded to fit & they’re working fine as well as I can lock all 4 wheel in a stop already. All in all definitely a worthwhile project & happy I did! Special thx to V8Coopman (DD) who helped w great tips & advice, Thx Coop!

Glad you had Coop to help you out and it sounds like the project was a big success! Good for you. I had mechanical brakes on my 32 Cabriolet - restored and adjusted as they should be. They were just fine around the country roads and up to about 55 mph and/or if I had too much hard braking (especially on longer grades). They tended to fade when "over used". LOL |
