Hello , There is a post kinda like this on the Model A side and here's proof that V-8 cars were not exempt from this kind of special engineering . These came out of the fordor in the other pic and were working !!?!! Like the A post the padal was kinda soft . No idea why this needed to be done as the drums are like new and the operating stuff is all good ? The shoes were thin but not metal to metal . The blacksmith that tied the knots probably charged more than new rods cost !!!!! PS the thread on posting pics was VERY helpful as computers are a struggle with me .
this was done as the pin holes on the stock ends aren't worn nor was anything else except thin shoes . The worst drum is only .012 oversize and all operational stuff is good . D'ya suppose someone was that clueless 
on setting up the brakes . The welding is top notch and the tying looks to have been done by a blacksmith . Anyway it is good show and tell stuff now . Kinda spooks some people though 
to think that is all that stops these old cars .Guess they have never had a brake line pop
