Brakes


I replaced the entire brake system (i.e., main cylinder, wheel cylinders, shoes, and brake lines), keeping it original.

 

Original Specifications: The brake specifications are as follows:

  • Front/Rear brake Size - 11
  • Front/Rear Lining Thickness - .187 - .194
  • Front/Rear Lining Width - 1 3/4"
  • Front/Rear Main Cylinder Piston Clearance - .001" to .005"
  • Front/Rear Wheel Cylinder Piston Clearance - .002" to .004"
  • Front Wheel Cylinder Size - 1 5/16"
  • Rear Wheel Cylinder Size - 1 1/8"
  • Main Cylinder Size - 1"

Below are pictures I took of the braking system overhaul.

Restored Specifications: The brake specs for the restored car are identical to the original. I plan on keeping the car in original condition.
