Tom, You said " You need a centering tool to center the rear brakes. I got one from Bratton's." I've heard that cutting a hole in an old brake drum can be used to centre the brake shoes instead of one of those tools. I haven't done a reline on a Model A before but do you (and others) think it will work. Seems viable to me but like I said, I haven't been there.
Purdy, I take your point about centering them up and down. Looks like the welder will get some use (again)
