'36 Brakes Still Don't Work...

I ordered one of your floater kits through Mac's maybe a year ago??? I have not installed it yet; been a little busy (making hydraulic conversions :):):)...) I did read the instructions and felt at the time that maybe they did not explain WHY certain things need to be done, or how things are supposed to work??? I need to read them again to refresh my (rapidly-failing) memory...

It is sort of like the Ford Service Bulletin for adjusting the lower shoe anchors on 39-42 brakes. It gives a procedure but never mentions WHY or that the objective is to essentially center the linings in the drums so that full contact can occur. Apparently Ford and others had difficulty with this, as they redesigned the brakes for 1946 so they are self-centering.

When you have rewritten the instructions, please send them to me. (1934)
