Re: Brake kit
After very recently having completely rebuilt front and rear stock brakes on my roadster, I can lock all 4 wheels easily if needed.
I replaced roller tracks, springs, rollers, clevis pins, brake rods and installed new cast iron drums on the rear. I ground sharp ridges on all adjusting wedges and cleaned and filed (as necessary) the movable wedges that ride on the adjusting wedge. I also replaced all wheel bearings and races.
My view is that stock brakes, if in good operating condition, are quite good.
