Lincoln brakes

[36coupe]

I dug these out from underneath the bench, I bought them years ago. Buddy switched to disc brakes, the drums were not stopping is Model A with the baby hemi fast enough. If I remember correctly they came from Speedway. They never had a very good paint job on the backing plates so I plan to strip them down and paint them. The first thing I noticed is the wheel cylinders are different OD. One is 1-1/2” outside diameter and the other is 1-5/8”. I doubt if these have 100 miles on them.
I’ll post some more pictures tomorrow when I strip them apart.

What you really need to be concerned with is the INSIDE Diameter....the BORE dimension of each wheel cylinder. When you take more pictures, PLEASE show the back side of the backing plates also. DD

If you need them, here are the part numbers for the front Lincoln wheel cylinders.
Right WC 7536
Left WC 7537
Those are Raybestos numbers

Thank you Ken for the numbers.
I didn’t realize how much a mess the wheel cylinders would be from sitting.
One is US made and the other generic overseas. Both cylinders are 1-1/8”.

I will probably lightly sand blast, prime and paint the backing plates inside and out. The shoes are 1-3/4” and I plan to use them with my wide 5 drums. The shoes where never properly arched for the drums. They where only contacting in a couple of places.
