Re: Drum Brakes
 

Thanks for all the info. This is a good informative thread. I am calling both strange and master power brakes. My friend w a similar car has 11 inch drums and no problems. Just no good parts yards near here any more. Anyone use the strange kits on rear? They offer both slotted and solid rotors. Will see what strange says tho.
Thanks again for the schooling throughout this thread.

Re: Drum Brakes
 

Hi all,

Just a heads up on drum brakes.............

The brake shoes MUST be arced to match the drum inside diameter...

You need total contact to make the drum brakes work best........

On a street car if you drive enough they will arc themselves...

In a drag race car, not a chance.........

Most shops don't arc shoes anymore, but finding one that does will be worth it........
