Thread: Brake question for Don(or anyone)

Tweet

I saw those hubs for sale at Thompson's Garage. Glad you told me about the jig. $170 does sound pretty high for drilling the drums.

I called Wilson's Welding about the Buick drum repros they're supposed to be working on, but they aren't ready yet.

Thompson's has a kit that has everything to add Lincoln brakes(drums, hubs everything). The 46 drum brake stuff I already have is pretty much shot! Might be able to salvage the hubs.

Looks like anything that resembles a "budget" on this project has pretty much disappeared!

Wilson Welding stuff is all top notch, but for some reason they have been promising to have the Buick drum reproductions out for several years now. I think the problem is finding someone or some way to bond the steel liner to the aluminum drum, at least that is what I think they told me one time.

If you are a member of the HAMB you can use the Alliance discount through one of their vendors to save maybe 10% or so. Dan has saved the $ 50 fee for the membership 40 times over I bet.

Well the deed is done!

I'm getting the Lincoln brake kit from Thompson's. They use Wilson's Welding backing plates.

Of course 2 new wheels with the correct bolt pattern are on the way too.

Looks like I've got a few parts to sell!

You know with all the parts I have laying around I bet I could put a cheap car together........................
