Re: TURNING BRAKE DRUMS...

I can't wait to see how the over sized brake linings work out in regards to adjustments.

Gary,

I did read my PM about the sizes, that's why I'm patiently waiting for the next step in this project. :D

Well we're getting there Bert-I don't mind being the pace setter on this task-I've followed a number of posts over the years that have been a tremendous help.

I figure that if I've measured everything correctly, once I install these I should have plenty of room to adjust them out as they wear and won't have to do this job again.

Since I keep a journal on all the M37 work, parts, etc., eventually I'll hand everything off to the next owner who will have all the details as needed.

Thanks to Charles at M-Series for the special order! Now I need to prep for the install, meaning find the time and a day with temps above freezing so I can get them installed and adjusted.
More to follow,
Gary

Hi Gary,

Now that I see the pictures of the brake linings, I understand why you needed to trim them. Thanks for posting them. Please keep us posted on how the adjustment process goes with the new shoes.
