I can't. I rarely ever have. Well, I have locked one or two on wet pavement and the dirt surface in front of my shop. On the road though? Only a few times I am having a hard time making sense of my brakes. I've tried multiple combinations and no matter what I do or try, I can't get them to skid...

Maybe nobody here has worn out a set of rear pads yet since most of us don't drive these cars 20,000 miles per year. I'm just looking for suggestions for a good street pad for this setup.

With the prices of these being about the same as a new or rebuilt cast iron 4 bolt MC, the aluminum units are a great option. I've found a small glitch though. In 2012, I wanted to convert my power brake '70 Charger to a manual MC setup to shed weight and to reduce clutter. I had problems with...

I'm looking at the Cobra front disc brake setup that Dr Diff offers. Funny story...Back in 2006 when I bought his 10.7" rear disc kit, he offered to let me use a prototype of this front 13" kit at no expense. He said If I wanted to keep it, we'd work something out. He was looking for real world...

Every time that I change from front drum brakes to the 1973 and later discs, I have to spin the tie rod sleeves numerous times to get the toe setting in spec. This has been the case on every '64-72 Dart, Valiant and Duster that I have worked on. Looking at the lower ball joint where the steering...

Hello all, I have a few rear axles here that have no brakes on them. In the past, I'd just go to the nearby self serve wrecking yards and grab some 10" drum assemblies and use them. As the rear wheel drive cars are harder to find, I'm having to expand my search. I have seen trucks and vans with...

Hey everyone, I have a 65 Dart that came with 4 wheel 9 inch drum brakes. I converted the front to the 11" disc brakes commonly found on the 73-76 A body cars. I also swapped in a big bolt 7 1/4" axle with 10" drums. I am not using a booster, this is an all manual setup that I have used before...

I'm swimming against the tide here but I want to retain the small bolt pattern in my 65 Valiant convertible. I have an 8 3/4" axle with the small bolt setup. The car currently has 9 inch brakes all around but I do have some 10" front drums if they are needed for the disc conversion. I recall...

I've had trouble for months trying to get my brakes right, and I'm considering eliminating the brake combination valve. I'm thinking of plumbing the master to the wheels directly by running the front M/C reservior to a TEE, which will run to each front wheel. For the rear, I might run a line to...
