I recommend to everyone not to buy a disassembled car! 1967 Coronet R/T with 440 and heavy duty drum brakes.
Ok, the rear backing plates that came with the car are complete, but were not on the axle housing and have no self adjusting hardware. The front backing plates have nothing on them.
According to my original parts manual I believe both front and rear brakes should have self adjusting hardware. 3" front shoes with 1 1/8 wheel cylinder. 2 1/2" rear shoes with 15/16 wheel cylinders. Does anyone have a setup similar to this.
I believe Plymouth has a different setup. Perhaps because of the shorter wheel base.
I checked the forum and noticed two vendors for performance brake parts. Is there any vendor who supplies parts closer to the original.
As always, thanks for the support and answers
