    Wilson welding front brake setup

     



    My Son has decided to go with a different look on his '29 and is going to run '39 Lincoln front brakes instead of these. This is a brand new, installed for mockup only set of Wilson Welding finned aluminum front brakes for a hot rod. Fits Ford '39 -41 round back spindles. These feature 2 inch wide self energizing brakes, and are to be used with Buick brake drums.

    Also included are two Superbell forged lower steering arms, and one Superbell forged side steering arm. The backing plates have been clearanced on one fin each to allow these steering arms to fit perfectly flush and the arms are drilled for 5/8 bolts to use rod ends.

    He has these also listed on the HAMB, but I thought I would put them on here for him as well. Cost of these items was almost $ 600, but he is asking only $400 and will pay the shipping costs.

    Thanks, Don

    It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    No, just getting ready to order them. Bob, I just spoke to Dan, just 5 minutes ago someone bought them on the HAMB.

    I'm just headed out the door, I might be thinking trade if Dan would want to.

    Just saw your edit. That's cool, now I don't have to fight temptation, just stay with my original plan.

    I suspected that might be what you were thinking, and when I went in to tell Dan, he said " D***! I just sold it to a guy on the HAMB. " That would have been a win win situation for you and he, but he had already given the guy his word so he couldn't back out.

    Thanks for posting the picture though. Now he knows what his setup will look like when he gets one.

    It's close. These are early '50s F2 units, very similar to the Lincoln repops, but slightly different backing plate style.

    They sure look the same. The Buick drums look good with all of these.
