    Hi guys, I have had these front brakes in my stash for years and don't even remember where I had gotten them. But anyway, I am gonna run them and need Hardware, etc but don't know what kind of brakes they are, or the vintage.
    I have heard that they may be F1 or F100. Please help !

    Shoes look to be self energizing, so F100 is my best guess, as I think that bigger pattern is the 5.5" bolt circle? Probably redrilled for the small pattern mags at one time.

    I think they are F1 as well. Are they 11"? They don't work with the 46-8 spindles shown. Wheel cyl interference. I cut mine down but need to cut them some more and use earlier king pins.

    My rig is like post #2. The spindle overlaps the wheel cylinder. I had to shorten the top of the spindle. Maybe other wheel cylinders might have cleared?
