Bruce F Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 I need to replace the woven brake pads in a 27 Buick Master. I see they are riveted, made of brass and countersunk. Is there anyone who could explain to me the steps in replaceing the brakes. What size rivets do I need? How does the rivet hold the pad up? They are peaned into the pad(i am told), but cannot picture how that would be, unless the rivet end has teeth. Appreciate any help.Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles2 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 This is a common procedure for people working on the Model A Ford. Check the Model A forum "Ahooga" or "FordBarn" and post a request for references. There are several articles available covering the procedure in detail. Wear a dust mask when you are working with any dusty parts of your old brake system - there is asbestos in the dust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 The proper way is to cut the lining material to the specified length in the shop or owners manuel. Then you rivet the ends and work toward the center so you do not pull the band out of round. If you need the length of material let me know the model that you have.fredrawling@verizon.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
