rear drum upgrade 11"x2"

Bigger is always better when you're trying to stop.

I did that in the Mach 1, but used parts from a late 1960's Ford 9" rear. Funny thing is the internals are the same as certain years F-150's!

Check the dimensions on the mounting flange, that is the ticket to see which backing plate will fit on the 9" axle.

Up front I used a disc brake spindle assembly from a late 1960's full-size Ford, and then used a properly sized Master Cylinder to match the new piston area, plus a prop valve to the rear brakes, the car had incredibly better brakes than before, but only the expert eye would notice. Also required 15" rims.
