<VV> BRAKES

[N2VZD at aol.com]

Try finding some one with a brake shoe grinder . This makes the shoes fit  
the drums perfectly, and makes a WORLD of difference. Those machines were 
junked  when people got afraid of asbestos dust. The machines have a decent 
collector  bag on them , were made by Aamco. This really made a difference on 
the Rampy. I  just got a set done for the Lakewood I am trying to build.  
There are  matched to the drums.
 Old time brake shops and some auto parts stores (old fashion type)  may 
still have one.
Of course , I am assuming all other aspects of the system have been  
checked. Old brake hoses may look perfect , but have collapsed internally.  
Cylinders may have a sludge in them causing binding , tubing may have a  
restriction  (crimp , bend )somewhere   etc etc.
