• Sorta OT, but car related...my Model A hot rod has Lincoln front brakes, and needs new shoes. Anybody have a clue as to what year brakes guys were using? They look a lot like the brakes on the 9" rear. *NM*
  • If you still have the solid axle up front, they might be '39-'48 Lincoln...
    • Thanks, after some more checking, I'm sure you're right. *NM*
      • Take some pictures and look for a pre-'49 forum, or maybe the H.A.M.B...
        • A trick from one of the Pontiac forums - get your original shoes re-lined by a company that does industrial work for forklifts, hi-los, etc
          • The early Ford stuff can be had from someone updating a build...
            • Agree - most of the early Ford stuff is fine when properly refurbished
  • Jim.......I could be wrong but I recall either in print somehwere or on the HAMB that a company called Wilson Bros or similar were doing Lincoln brakes or parts thereof..as suggested have you tried on the HAMB yet?. *NM*
