Brakes



I finally finished the last brake drum.  Cool thing is that all of the brake drums are original to the car.  Fortunately there was enough material left that these could be turned and still be "in-spec".

Here are some of the original markings on the inside of the drums to be recreated soon.


Now, inside of drums after restoration


Also installed brake and fuel lines under the car...

Here are some shot of the original brake master cylinder after bead blasting but before sending it out for rebuild.  Casting date is June 15, 1964, machining was June 22, 1964.
