1937-48 Ford Front Bendix Style Drum Brake Kit, 2 Inch

Bendix Brake Kit

If you want the early look but are reluctant to use old non-energizing drum brakes, we have just what you need. Our 100% new self-energizing backing plate assemblies come complete with shoes, wheel cylinders and hardware. Fits either the front or rear of 1937-48 Ford cars or 1937-47 Ford half-ton pickups with original style rear axle.

These brake assemblies can be used with Buick drums and 1948 Ford hubs, or we also offer new iron 12" x 2" brake drums (910-65400) with 5 on 5-1/2" bolt circle which are impossible to find elsewhere.

• Wheel Cylinder Inlet: 7/16"-20 straight thread
• NOT 7/16"-20 IFF
• Inlet fitting will require a sealing washer or O-ring style fitting
• Bolt Pattern: 3-3/8" center-to-center both horizontal and vertically
• If using Model A or B spindles the holes will have to be elongated inward to fit the narrower bolt pattern

We recommend use of adapter rings 916-31928 to keep the spindle centered in the backing plate
