29 Tudor front brake inspection

[SeaSlugs]

Steering?

winner winner chicken dinner! can have an engine that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds and brakes that can stop 60-0 in 20 feet but neither will be useful if you cant control where your going!

if your engine conks out while drving - no biggie just coast off the road and stop

if your brakes fail - engine brake, coast to a stop, or sideswipe the curb/guardrail to stop.

if steering goes - pray!

The first picture in #7 shows a sharp edge where the rolled edge is.
This would mean the drums have been turned quite a bit, and are probably at the limit.
The less metal, the quicker they heat up and expand.
The more they expand, the more the pedal goes to the floor.

Now that I learned you might have a cast iron brake drum, the sharp edge by the rolled lip comment most likely won't apply. I haven't had a cast drum, so I'm not sure how sharp the edge would be.
