Default Re: Brake kit

Looks like these guys are into locking their wheels up. Long steady use of A brakes can easily become another matter. I have both and drive each accordingly. I read the word proper as it relates to Model A brake restoration and maintenance. Assumption being that if you don't like stock brakes, yours are just not proper. Can't go anywhere with that logic. Luckily we can do as we want and there are admirers of the many Model A brake strategies. My most effective for the past sixty years has been the Zephyr/Bendix drum brakes with a single master cylinder. I have some tweaks and mods to make install and use more "normal" I go the same way with my 1940 cars, replacing the Lockheed/Ford brakes which are seldom my choice. Do it your way and drive safely. Good Luck: Fred A
