Brakes



This car had some variant of AC brakes installed.  They do not look vintage to me, but could be a rip-off of the AC from that period.

They were hooked up to the hand brake.  I am going to install the original drum brake setup, then some sort of rod system off the pedal to actuate the AC brakes.

First, I noticed a pretty big issue - the lever was badly cracked on one of them.  A friend welded both side of this for me to solve.

There is that cream corn yellow again, argghhh.  When I got the repaired item back, I painted it black - and forgot to take a picture of his pretty welding job.  Not good as new, but should be OK.
