We resolved the issue, turns out when we thought the adjustment was at the end of its travel it was not, it just turns much harder I think because the shoes get tight against the drum until they fall into the grooves . We got brakes now!

wow Joe, great info.. I have a green bible but have never used it until now. shows dimensions on parts in question. Thanks so much Ken

well as it turns out the adjuster is not stripped. But turning it all the way in does not move the shoes enough to have any brake at all. the shoes appear to be relined. I have no idea if the drums were turned or not. The gentleman that restored the truck has passed so no info. If the brake...

Thanks Joe, he calls it a 30 but the grill shell looks 28-29 to me. Shoes look new. drum is gigantic and it has separate e brake shoes. the adjuster looks like the same ones on my 34 car

Hi folks, im helping a friend with his rear brakes on his AA truck. It appears that the rear brake adjusters are stripped. I assume they are threaded so as you turn them in they would move the wedge in to expand the shoes out closer to the drum surface. they turn but dont seem to go in. Is this...

more pics please...Ken

Pete thanks for sharing. I think the drake one I ordered is working for now but it came with v8 symbol and when tight the v8 is sideways. I just ordered another from tanks. Ken

Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone could send picks of there trailer hitch set up. I want to build one to fit my 34 tudor. Just looking for ideas. thanks so much. Ken

I got tired of my 97s leaking and staining my powder coated intake, I bought a brand new 97 made by stromberg, I think they addressed some issues from the original. so far no leaks but they are pricey. Ken

thanks everyone, I just ordered a new cap from bob drake, its advertised as a vented cap with neoprene gasket and no leaks. I will provide feed back if it works. Ken

could use some suggestions as to stop my gas cap from spilling when full. I have tried a new gasket on original cap, tried a new cap as well. Car has a new drake tank with a spring loaded flipper. (34 ford). Ken

any one know where I can get rear floor mats for a 34 tudor? Ken

thanks everyone, i cleaned the bullet connectors at the horn, they did not seem that bad but after clean and electric grease its working. whoo hoo Ken
