stock calipers, almost any pad, 10.9 or 11 7/8 rotor uses the same caliper, pads.

He said he couldn't find it..:poke:

Picture is from a ford truck, sorry. But all about the same, as brake cable is pulled, it pushes forward the primary shoe through the parking brake link, pivoting the rear shoe back against the drum through the lever retainer, applying the brakes.

If I remember correctly, the parking brake lever pushes the leading shoe forward, so would act the same.

Drum brakes have a natural "self-applying" characteristic, better known as "self-energizing."[5] The rotation of the drum can drag either one or both of the shoes into the friction surface, causing the brakes to bite harder, which increases the force holding them together. This increases the...

What is the brackets original thickness?

If a proven brake system can be installed without sacrificing safety( once the thinner brackets are proven and factory cables and hoses are used) what is wrong with the system? And I saved a lot of money using the proven 73 up disc brakes on my 67. A lot of people have used these disc...

I would use the factory flex hoses instead of flexing hard lines, swage old and new parking brake cables together which is easy, other than worried about thinning the mounting bracket basically a stock system. Am interested in doing this.

Just waiting to find out if machining the mount down to .1 inch thickness will actually hold up.

Any update for a 8 3/4 install?

If they are advertised as 11 inch rotors, does that measurement include the scalloped area? If so when braking the brake pad would not even be in contact with the that part of the rotor, and if not part of it, then the pad does not come in contact with, more weight than necessary.

Have also seen hole drilled through subfamily connector and using short piece of rubber fuel line that fits tightly, say a 5/16 hose in a 3/6 hole, so that no water etc gets into sub frame and cable won't rattle or wear in a metal tube.

Drilled hole through mine, then welded thin wall pipe to run cable through

If he is thinking auto crossing, he should just go strait to the 11 7/8 rotor single piston set up, same caliper, just a taller caliper stand with the bigger rotor, bbp with the better bearing and wheel possibility.

Also check brake hoses, they come apart internally and can act as a check valve, not releasing pressure.
