![]() Couldnt be happier, in fact I am plannng to do the same thing on Elvira when I go to an OD and open driveline on her. There is no need to change the brakes since the A was designed to stop from 45mph very well. Now using radials does increase the contact patch of the tire, so maybe you can still stop at 50mph. But to be honest, I cant see the brakes being dependable at 55mph for the simple fact, the car was not really made to sustain that speed, since the majority of roads in the 30s and 40s werent capable of sustaining 55mph. What I would rather see you do is use the A for what it was meant to be, a cruiser, slowing down to under 50mph even though the traffic is running in the mid to upper 80s, there is no reason you should need to drive faster than you can safely stop. I am going to spread out all the new brake parts take a picture. Everything you can think of from the peddle to the drum has been replaced, many parts more than once. Even tried Brattons floaters, teds floaters, you name it, I have tried it. The front right brake when adjusted by the book will over heat. I end up backing it off to the point that it is totally ineffective. Ing Hydraulic Brakes On 1936 Ford Plus All OnI am not exactly a dummy, I have built a 45 foot catamaran from scratch with no outside help, cruised the Caribbean for 17 years full time maintaining 2 diesel engines plus all on board systems. I retired in the rank of E-9, you have to be in the top one percent of the Air Force to hold that rank. During the build, I thought if I could be bothered with old brake design purely for looks. I saw an old skool roadster almost exactly like I wanted and it had disks on the front. Then I thought, who am I pleasing here, myself with good brakes that can stop me safely from 80 MPH or pleasing the hotodding (purist) who says, nothing else but drum brakes. I eventually won out, and am much happier every time I have to brake. At this point I dont care what other people think I just want it to work. ![]() My brakes are 4 wheel disc from a donor car, so basically the only engineering brain work I had to do was the design of moving the master cylinder to under floor with the associated Model A pedal and, on the hiboy, fitting a smaller booster so it was not visible from the side. I found that a single 7 inch booster did not cut it, and had to fit a dual diaphragm 7 inch. You know, while we dont have any absolutely purists in our club, we do have some guys who are trying very hard to keep it original. Even those guys will come up to me and ask how hard it was to do my front disksrear drums, and howhI like them, because they sure would like to stop better, and this is after trying every trick in the book on their rebuilds. I have their brakes on the front and 48 Ford brakes on the rear. The Bendix brake system is self energizing and gives strong stopping power.
