I had mechanical brakes with all new parts,cast iron drums and floaters. They would stop great. The only trouble is, they were erratic. They would work fine for 2-3 months and then one day at the worst moment grab and shudder in the front.

After 3 years I gave up and put on Bendix hydraulics. Couldn't be happier.
