Brake improvement for Model A's

[Oldgearz]

I put new cast iron drums all around with new woven linings. I put Ted's deluxe floater kit all around. I am having a hard time getting things right. Fronts want to make noise or grab. The set-up definitely works better than what I had, but is really finnicky about rod lengths and adjustments on the front. I believe the length and condition of the operating pins and the front brake actuating arms are critical to the front brakes being dialed in correctly. You will need to have a selection of pins and shims to get things right. It can try your patience. Even with new parts you can have problems, as no two seem to be alike, even if from the same vender. But I'm not giving up.
