Re: [FWDLK] 1957 Dodge Rear Brakes



John,

 

Have you thought  of converting the rear brakes to disks?  I believe AAJ has a kit for the rears.

Anyone have a source for NOS or GOOD used rear brake drums for a 1957 Dodge Custom Royal? 

**** OR ****

Can anyone point to the most compatible Mopar rear axle/brake assembly (circa late 60s to early 70s) that I can swap with the original?

 

Let me explain:

 

I just installed a disk brake conversion kit in the front and converted to a dual master cylinder (from a ’67 Dodge), but still need to replace the rear drums.  The brakes are unique to Dodge for the 57-58 years only.  From what I can find out, these drums are not being reproduced.  I can’t locate NOS drums, and the used ones I looked at are too far gone.  So . . . my remaining option is to swap out the entire rear end, so I’ll have an easier time servicing the brakes.  The car is in great shape, but it’s not a trailer queen.   I drive it – a LOT – so I need the brakes. 

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks!

 

John Williams
