Rusty Brakes


OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Here are your Moss Classic brake shoes and kits going on a 1957 100-6 that really needed them. Extremely rusty! I had to torch heat the cylinders and pipe fittings, then quench them in water, to free up the parts. This car has been sitting in the elements of Oregon since 1999, Moved around on dollies, it came to my garage in December. I have replaced all the shoes, rebuilt the cylinders that were acceptable and replaced front and rear worn out cylinders with classic gold new items. One of the original shoes had no lining at all! Looks like I will need a replacement handbrake cable as it is frozen tight. These cars take a beating out there in the field, don’t they?

  1. those are some real rusty items-must get a lot of exposure in Oregon with all that rain and humidity
