Technical F2 brakes on 36 rearend

I am starting the ch***is for my 32 sedan and am using a 36 rear. I have an extra set of F2 backing plates and Buick drums. So the question is: what will be required to make this happen? or is it a no go.

I tried a couple of searches and didn't find anything

 

Very difficult. The F2 backing plates have a shallower backspace than the Ford or Lincoln units. This pushes them out toward the drums. You need to use the 46-46 hubs so the wheel mounting surface is outside the drum. This pushes the drum too far inboard to work with the F2 plates. If you try to put the hubs inside the drums, you find you have to cut them down so much the wheel is not supported if you want to use the early Ford wheels. You can go to a small wheel pattern or add a plate on the drum face to mount the wheel. You have to measure and see how everything fits together.

 

Buick drums in the rear?

 

Post #3: Why not? I run Buick fins front and rear with adjustable proportioning to the rear.

 

31modelo: Weiand valve covers for the Nailhead seem to be scarcer than '37 Ford tubular front axles!
Just sayin'.

 

Yep, i didnt word it the best but it was a sugestion to run buick drums, then you can use the f2 plates. but dunno why you think you would need a proportioning valve to the rear as running 4 f2 brake set ups is just like running 4 40 ford brake set ups.

You just need rear hubs that had the inside mounted drums, basically just like doing the front set up.

 

Running '40 Ford on Buicks in the front plus narrower tires which helps balance the lower efficiency of the early Ford design. The adjustable proportioning valve is there to fine tune front/rear bias. BTW, the rear backing plates are Buick rears redrilled to fit Ford F-100 axle bearing ends. Drums drilled to fit 5 on 5 1/2 bolt circle, drums on outboard side of axle flange. '67 Mustang master cylinder.
I realize his rear set-up is different. I'm running a Champ QC with Dana 60 axles. This may help someone else.

 

I have F2 brakes w/Buick drums on front and rear of my 33 coupe..Easy install..Backing plates center hole needs to be opened up slightly then bolt right on.Small centering ring is needed to center drum on hub(cost me 30.00 from my machinist)..Redrill the drums for ford BP..I reused the buick studs in my Ford hubs by opening up the holes slightly and pressing them in the hub..The buick studs are 1/2" thread(same as ford) and longer overall with a longer shoulder to p*** through the thicker drum. I had to grind down the lip on the backing plate slightly for clearance at the drum..I'm even using an F2 wheels cylinders (cheaper than f100) and F2 Master cylinder and its stops great..I was told the pressure required at the pedal would be great due to the larger MC but it was not the case at all..I kept the stock pedal ratio and it has proved to be very good..Check mild for 33 coupe build for pics and info or pm me.
