Re: Mechanical Brakes
I would never put juice brakes on a model A unless it had a V-8 power plant. I have 100 HP model B engine in my Tudor sedan and it stops on a dime even on the HWY cruseing at 60 and stoping they don't fade. I can run right in town with heavy traffic and feel very comfortable only problem is rain and the skinny tires not a lot of surface on the pavement. If you put cast iron drums on (that is a must) and replace all the worn out bushings, levers and pins and install the soft linings you will be amazed how well the original Ford brakes will be. You can even let go of the steering wheel it stops so straight.
