Anyone ever run this combo? Any tips? I know I have to trim the spindles at the top and change bearings and races. I was going to just run the buick drums on my 39 brakes but got some f1 brakes today.
F1 & F100 brakes are 11" - early Ford brakes & the Buick drums are 12" - won't work. Check the tech archives for more info: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=166339
if you use the 40 backing plates you dont have to grind the spindles,i have seen where a litlle grinding is done to the lip of the backing plate on the outer inside edge,even after machining the inside of the buick drum,this was with 40 hubs i am planning to do the same thing using the f1 hubs iam hoping they will sit out a hair further but im not counting onit.as far as i know the f1 hubs work great you just have to turn the backs down on a lathe and chamfer the inner bearing.so you will just have to get the 12"backing plates.hope this helps.
