I need help from someone with experience or access to an interchange manual.
My '48 Huck front brake drums were well worn and after turning and adding new
shoes, they only partially engage when the pedal is held down hard. I have
the adjusters maxed out, and everything bled perfectly, but still the fronts
are nearly useless. I have some choices:
1. Search for new (used) drums for my exisiting Huck brakes and proceed.
2. Search for oversize brake shoes (do they still make them?)
3. Replace the front brakes with '51 or newer (thru 59?) more modern brakes.
Can the complete '51-59 brake assembly be bolted to my spindles? Who has
done this mod before? If the interchange is a bolt-on, who has '51 or newer
brake assemblies lying around? You guys with the front clips could be my
savior here. Thanks as always.
