keiser31 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Short lining goes to the front of each backing plate. Here is some information that should be useful... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GBCHY31 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks....one more question....the round hole that the adjusting bolt goes in I noticed that there isa lip extrudes out but the shoes I got they all looked the same so one extrudes up and one down wheninstalling the shoes is this correct or did they give me only one side?

keiser31 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Are you referring to the lip on the shoe itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GBCHY31 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Where the 2 round holes in the shoe that the adjusting bolts fit through...they have a round raised lipif I take mount both of the shoes one roundraised lip will be faced down and the other will be faced up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 That should work just fine. As long as the shoes are both aligned. They look like they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dep5 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 which pad goes forward the longer shoe lining pad or the shorter one...Check out the following thread on this very subject, especially the Franklin Club newsletter http://www.franklincar.org/FSS/FSS123March09.pdf where Lockheed brakes are discussed in detail. http://forums.aaca.org/f169/primary-vs-secondary-brake-shoes-270170.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore one hose goes to the rear brakes and each front brake is fed with an individual hose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest martylum Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Hi-I just took a look at my 30 Desoto roadster's rear brake plumbing. The feed line runs down the LH side of the chassis and 1 rubber hose connects to a tee on the rear axle which makes the car a 3 hose system.

CM CD CD* CG ? The most common, the six cylinder CM, may take the same wheel cylinders but the other models differ front to rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
