Re: [FWDLK] WONDERING ABOUT SOME UPGRADES

[Eastern Sierra Adjustment Svc <esierraadj@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Another brake option, as Roger Van Hoy mentioned and as I have done 
to/on my own car,
is to score some 11x 3" front Bendix Duo-Servo brakes (complete with 
steering knuckles and
backing plates) ; they are a bolt-on deal; as per my own tutorial in the 
WPC News'  "Fix-It'
issue, of 3/87 (how time flyes--).

Any 63-64 Chrysler will have these guys on them.---Just be certain that 
the brake drums are
'turnable'.

For the rear brakes, you don't need to find the 11 x3" drums (from the 
mid-late 60's), as  the
11x 2 1/2" drums (which are seemingly universal, in the 60's) work just 
fine.

My Follow up How-to article, on the rear brakes' installation, is seen 
in the 10/90 WPC News
issue, and it, too, is a relatively simple procedure.

Firm Feel stocks pre-done 11 x 3" brake shoes, but may have to receive 
your 11 x 2 1/2"
assemblies in order  to replace their linings.
