Guys just chancing some specs on the brakes on my 56 Fairlane town sedan. mainly the drum sizes and max they can be cut. Wheel cyl sizes would help too so I can check. Im pulling my brakes although they look in great condition, Im going to reline the shoes I have to try something its just dangerous the way it is. I plan to replace the hard lines as well, 3 /16" is it?
Currently I have the dual circuit and power booster setup, works ok when you heat up the brakes [normal driving] but the harder you push in an emergency stop it just wont pull up, it should be able to lock.. The brakes on my 35 pickup are way better..
