Brake adjustment of 31 Coupe with 39 Ford hydraulic brakes?
Where can I find out how to adjust the brakes on my Model A equipped with 39 Ford hydraulic brakes. My brake pedal has way too much free travel now that the brake linings have broken in from a couple thousand miles of driving. Do I have to remove the tires and wheels? Or is there a way to make wear adjustments on the backside of the brake backing plates?

There should be a hex bolt coming through the backing plate. You pull down with a wrench until you feel a slight drag. There is a adjuster on the front and back of the backing plate. |

I have them on my 29, and found the page suggested by Charlie very useful.
This may also help http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/t...your-a.124112/ http://www.lainefamily.com/ModelAFil...akeUpgrade.htm Generally the H.A.M.B. has more of this type of stuff than the Barn
