Brake conversion

[Chris B.]

What do I need to convert my 35 to hydraulic brakes and still retain the original wires. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

All you have to do is use the spacer ring sold for that purpose.

Anyone know what backing plates and drums will work and do they fit on original hubs?

I've never done this particular swap, but, as I understand it, there are spacers available to adapt '39 to '48 backing plates to your front spindles. I'm pretty sure the holes will have to be filed out to accept a slightly different bolt pattern. Your '35 front drums/hubs should work? In the rear, '39 to '48 backing plates should bolt to your axle housings and once again, your '35 drums/hubs should work. Richard Lacy of the Early V8 Garage is a regular here and he should be able to set you up with a master cylinder arrangement and anything else you might need.
