Speedway Motors 9108928 Details

If you want the early look but are reluctant to use old non-energizing drum brakes, we have just what you need. This complete front drum brake kit includes backing plate assembly, brake drums, wheel hub, wheel bearings and seals. 

Our 100% new self-energizing backing plate assemblies come complete with shoes, wheel cylinders and hardware. Fits either the front of 1937-48 Ford cars or 1937-47 Ford half-ton pickups.  The new 12" x 2" brake drums and wheel hubs are front early Ford car of the 1940 design which was slip-over drum configuration (brake drum mounts to the "front" side of the hub).  Studs are installed on a 5 on 5-1/2" bolt circle.  

Kit Includes

  • (1) Bendix style brake backing plate assembly, pair
  • (2) 12" x 2" Brake Drum
  • (2) Early Ford front wheel hub, 5"x5-12" bolt pattern
  • (2) Inner bearings
  • (2) Outer bearings
  • (2) Inner wheel seals
  • (2) Inner bearing races
  • (2) Outer bearing races

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

Overall Assessment

Customers appreciate our product for its convenient qualities, particularly its comprehensive kit and ease of installation. While it is excellent for converting Ford style to Bendix brakes, customers suggest a minor improvement in instruction clarity for shoe placement. Nonetheless, the product is often described as great, beating competitors with its functionality and quality, making it a highly recommended choice.
