Lincoln Brakes again!!!

I thought you needed a spacer between the spindle and backing plate with 42-48 fronts? To basically make them have the same offset as a 41 front...



There's some info on the backing plate spacer here...

Original 35 spindles, marked 48-?
36 spindles, marked 68-?
37-41 Spindles, marked 78-?

Ok so those are 32 spindles. I have the later round spindles.

 

You have the Popular Flat Backing plates ... They are the ones to have !!

I just think you have '42-'48 Lincoln Drums which are not Compatable.

Way to much over thinking here, Check a '40 Ford Drum.... If it fits Correctly, You have the wrong Lincoln drum.

Easy as that, To much Super Hero Car Guy ******** here.

Lincoln Brakes are not That hard, & Wilson Welding Brakes are an UGLY Cop Out for those who dont want to leave the Key Board.
