Once again, these brakes work !
A vehicle pulled out in front of me and these old Ford brakes were locked up, all 4, at about 30-35 mph.
I haven't touched or looked at these in about 5 or so years except to give them a yearly 'click'.

Patrick that's awesome.

Really, how many people can say that about their brakes? That's the way that they should work.

I have a road behind my house that is paved and never has traffic on it. I go about 30mph and slam my brakes on to make sure they all work properly and that I can take my hands off the wheel to make sure it doesn't pull left or right.

I have a car camera in my Model A that records videos. It is my witness if needed. The cops know how to load the video onto their computers in their cars.

Forget the brakes, they really don't work. The clutch always sticks, and starts with a jerk. My car grows red hair, and flies through the air. Driving's a blast, a blast from the past.
