Re: Need help 55 Ford brakes
I finally broke down and read through your thread here describing the '55 resto - VERY IMPRESSIVE!

Re: Need help 55 Ford brakes
Is there anyway that you can post the photos on this site directly as photobucket does not show (to me anyway).
It is highly unfortunate that Photobucket changed their entire format last year and went from being a free site to host photos third party to a site that charged roughly $400 a year to have a user's photos hosted so that the photos would show up on sites like the FordBarn. If you have Google Chrome, there is a back door fix - many have used this and it works fine and all of the links here remain unbroken. This thread is a monster - lots of pages, media, and replies. Of course it also has the highest views on this part of the forum by a large margin. At one time I was maintaining THREE separate forum sites like the Ford Barn here so that folks could see the progress on the 55. Since Photobucket wanted triple the amount it would cost me to build my own site on wix.com, and since I would have the chance to post anything and everything I wanted with my own rules, I built hotrodreverend.com. Thousands of hits so far - people must like it I guess. The way the threads are designed on the Ford Barn would meant that to go back and "fix" each post I have made the photos would not be placed in order of reading and would all be at the very bottom of each post. Not to mention the time it would take to get all of that done. Ryan owns the Ford Barn and allows us to contribute such as we do. I did go back on a thread on the HAMB in a social forum and "fix" everything - that took weeks to accomplish. When I was done I noticed that of the entire HAMB website - much larger than here, I was 5th in the number of the pieces of Media I had "saved" to the server. Ouch. thank you for your kind comments by the way, I am always learning myself as you can see.

Re: Need help 55 Ford brakes
As usual I have again slurred my URL's...
I did not mean all photos as that would be a major undertaking. All I want to see (if possible) is your final front brake install. The SHOP MANUAL ILL is not that detailed.

Oh and I see you removed the top anchor pin and re-installed it. The shop manual says don't touch it, so I feared pandora's box would be open if I tried to do that so I left it alone. You've got it so pretty in there, it's a shame you need to put the brake drum back on. But maybe you ought to slap a coat of shellac or something on those bare cast iron wheel cylinders to help prevent them from rusting. Just kidding about all this ! |

As you can tell on some of this work I am a detail guy. And we all know what it will look like once this thing is back on the road - cars that are driven and used have parts and pieces that look they are worked. But I figure for the brakes there is nothing more important than to be as clean as you can given the sensitivity to safety we should have. On with the resto...

Re: Need help 55 Ford brakes
... sigh ...
Now I am wondering if the front brake drum(s) have the adjustment check slot and if aftermarket replacements come with the slot?

My original drums have the slot, but I just looked at the photo of the new drums in the Concours catalog $109.95, whew. They do not appear to have the slot. Macs wants $141.79 for a front drum. That's a heart attack. |

Now is that hub and drum or just drum? The really bad part (other than being an exact replacement) is that it will be CHINESEIUM...

The front drums do not include the hub, but Concours offers a new hub complete with bearings, grease seal and dust cap for the additional price of $$$$199.95. BTW, for the 55/56 drums it says they are made in the USA |
