Re: Assembling Lockheed brakes
The shoes that were on the Lockheed brake on my '46 when I bought it had these numbers printed on the side of the linings.
Short lining: FASA-HD-FF Long lining: FASA-RX-FF I removed the assemblies and installed the MT Bendix style brakes. I used brake lube on the adjusters, where the shoes contact the backing plates, and on the wheel cylinder pins that connect the shoes. |

Re: Assembling Lockheed brakes
I am getting the feeling that a clear, complete, definitive explanation of EXACTLY where MT brake shoes can be used is needed including any possible
interchangeability with Lockheed brakes system components (backing plates, drums, hubs, etc.). One would think that only the OEM brake shoes that came on OEM Lockheed brakes could be used only on Lockheed brakes not on any Bendix brake systems and vice versa. Am I wrong? |

http://www.mtcarproducts.com/partners.html It's becoming obvious that Pete bought new MT drums and RE-LINED or reproduction Ford/Lockheed brake shoes from some other "well-respected vendor", like perhaps C&G, or Speedway. Man, we just need to focus on being accurate, concise and disgustingly-complete in our descriptions when describing problems or asking for help. That is one reason that some of my infamous replies here on the forum are so agonizingly-long and drawn-out.....my feeble attempt to paint a picture that leaves nothing to the imagination. Now, back to our regularly-scheduled programming! DD |

Re: Assembling Lockheed brakes
The Lockheeds actually work quite well on the rear when used in conjunction with the Bendix MTs on the front. Ya gotta remember that rear brakes don't do near the braking that the front brakes must do. Quite a few folks here on the 'Barn will attest to this. This would apply even more so on a light Model A or T-type car. It is possible to end-up with TOO much braking force in the rear during a panic stop, especially if the front and rears are not tuned to work together as a system. DD
