ford 9 inch and drum brake sizes

I have a 9 inch rear on my model A and am trying to run rear spoke wheels without going wider with spacers. Is there anyone who knows the smallest backing plate and brake drum that will fit on the 9 inch? thanks

 

check out wilson welding. he makes backing plates that use 40 ford duums they will take your spoke wheels. ( 9 inch big bearing)

 

wilson make the, so does M/T car products. we carry them. i am putting them on my banjo rear that has the 9" conversion.

 

I was hoping for a junk yard solution, but I will call those places Monday. Is there a website for M/T?

 

Check out Currie Ent. I bought a brake package for mt 27 that was reasonable.
If memory servs me right they had quite a few brake options for 9 inch Fords

 

what spoke wheels? you will need REAL small drums to fit inside early ford wire wheels

 

PM sent.

 

What bearing size is the axle bearing if it's a small bearing housing you could use brakes off an early mustang with either an 8 or 9 inch rear I think they had 9 x 2 1/4 and 9 x1 3/4

 

Last time I checked SoCal offered a complete rear brake package. Might check with them for application. Highly unlikely that you will find a junk yard set that doesn't need everything replaced to bring up to usable standards

Don't know the year on the wheels. They are 16" spokes and it seems a drum a bit smaller then 10" diam would fit on the inside of the wheels.

 

the wheel is put onto the outside of the drum and uses a ring to support it since the juice drums do not have the flange as mechanical brake drums did.

 

Bob Wilson of Wilson welding is the guy! Spend a few extra dallors and do it right, everything he sells is ready to run! Just bolt it on and go!

 

also search tech foram 71 to 76 larg gm wagons use bendex 12X2 brakes can be adapted to your housing

 

yes we do! $399.00 for the complete package.
