I need help on sending a private message. When I try and do it it won’t go through for some reason.....Vern

I turned 80 in June. Got my first model a two years ago from up in Utah. I love the hobby it keeps me busy working on it and driving it. I’ve learned a lot from this club. Thanks guys......Vern.

Yes I was confused on what way the switch worked. Thanks for the info. I got it adjusted and it works like a charm.

Yah I’ll try that. I’ve got a early 30 tudor.

Has anybody had to shorten the distance from where the break rod attaches to the cross shaft and makes contact with the break lite switch. When I attach mine it pushes my switch on and break lite stays on. I read you are supposed to have 1/16 gap between rod and switch. My break pedal is all the...

I mean probably adjusted. Mine has about one and one inch of play.

What is wheel play on average for most model a two tooth?

And I think your suppose to clean real good and no grease. Is that correct?

Thank you I’ll try that tomorrow.

Is there any tricks to keeping the key in the key way when installing the drum on the rear axle. That Cast iron drum is heavy.

Yup I have the adjuster all the way out. Now I’m doing what you recommend and sanding the shoes in the drum. Thanks I’m sure it will work.

What do you mean by having the adjuster all the way out?

My left rear brakes drag and get real hot. I took the drum off and the spot on the leading and tailing edge looks like the spot on the shoes. I have a 1930 tudor all new break parts. Could l use a file to chamfer the front and back edges?..Vern

Thanks guys. I torqued my head down and got movement on the two in the front all the others were tight.

Thanks guys for the info. Now l can go to work....Vern
