I`ve been looking over the available brake shoes for my 68 Dart and noticed that there are all types including ceramic, metallic, and organic. Does anybody have the dope on these different types? Which one wears the longest or stops the best? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each...

I recently changed the rear wheel cylinders on my car. They are 10" drum brakes. The brakes were working fine but one cylinder was leaking so I changed them both. ( I was taught that was the thing to do). Now the brakes are sticking. I`ve checked the parking brake and everything looks good...

I have the Kelsey Hayes unassisted discs on my 68 Barracuda and have experienced the right front brake locking up occasionally. It seems to happen mostly the first time I brake, it doesn`t take a lot of effort to make it lock up, and goes away after I`ve used the brakes once or twice. Does...

I`ve read an article or two on the idea of using 66 Mustang rotors on A-body Mopars that came with KH 4 piston disc brakes (67-69 for ex.) in order to take advantage of the 4.5" bolt circle they offer. Since both systems were made by Kelsey Hayes it doesn`t sound out of the question. I did some...

After reading an article from Tom Condrans Performance Handling for Classic Mopars I tried to install the 66-69 B-body rotors on my 68 B`cuda KH disc spindles. This is supposedly a bolt on swap to get the 4.5" bolt circle. Either the rotors are too wide or the spindle is too short. Anyone heard...

Check out these rotors that Summit Racing is now selling. Where were these when I needed them? Part# - SUM-DSEP-5384L or R Has anyone tried these?

If you do the axle swap on an A-body that`s originally a 4" bolt pattern in order to get the 4.5 in. bolt pattern, what drums do you use? Can you redrill the existing drums? Can you buy a later year/model drum and install it right out of the box? What about the backing plates, can they stay?

Does anybody know if I can swap the backing plates from a 7 1/4 rear with 10" brakes to a 8 3/4 rear?

Does anyone know where I can get the self adjusting hardware for 10" drum brakes? I`m in need of the cables the half-moon shaped guides and the adjuster stops. Thanks.
