I have had my '28 Roadster on the road now for about a month. I am running steel drums and woven linings. The brakes seem to fade fairly quickly on a particular hill near my house. I have the brakes adjusted correctly according to Ford Service Bulletin, but with no separate Emergency brake, I could use better stopping power. Bratton's sells AR drums made of ductile iron. Anyone using them? I would like to get the best performance for the car and not spend money unwisely. Brake tips appreciated - especially AR remedies. Thanks, BW
