Re: IML: BRAKE SHOE INSTALLATION ON '52 IMPERIAL

[PAUL WENTINK <randalpark@xxxxxxx>]

You are better off having the shoes ground than having drums that are 
too thin. If your drums are that good, then be happy and deal with 
having the shoes made smaller. Brakes shoes were available both in 
standard size and over size for turned drums. This has come up before. 
Have the shoes sized and arced to fit the drums. You will be more 
satisfied with the finished job if you do.

SEEMS POSSIBLY RELATED, OR MAYBE NOT.

I ORDERED AND RECEIVED FROM ONE OF OUR PREFERRED SUPPLIERS NEW SHOES. 
WHEN
MECHANIC ATTEMPTED TO INSTALL TOLD ME THEY NEED TO BE SANDED DOWN 
APPROX 1/4
INCH TO FIT, EVEN WITH ADJUSTMENT ALL THE WAY. NORMAL?

HE SPECULATED THAT THE DRUMS HAD BEEN REPLACED AT SOME POINT BY ANOTHER 
AND
THAT WAS THE REASON. HE TURNED THEM BUT DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE THEM TOO 
THIN.

INPUT?

That is safer, but even with a single pot, the car can be stopped with
the emergency brake, as long as the driver knows how to use it. If that
brake isn't functioning, the car should not be on the road.

The move to the dual MC was a safety move. At least now if you lost a
wheel cyclinder on one end or the other you can still stop. Not great
but you can slow down and stop.
