Another big improvement in performance and safety would be conversion to a dual master cylinder. A separate 1” piston for each two drum circuit sure is a big upgrade! Allan From: chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <chrysler-300-club-international@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of John Grady exactly correct info and the way to go . Maybe we find a good process,for example a way to precisely measure drum ID at local machine shop and send that drum info and your shoes to this company to precision grind the shoes to match . Or buy the arced shoes from them etc . Watch out for shoe design variations across years too . Not all are the same 12” shoes , the back side and the platform contact loops vary . I have had two cars with that crossed up in the distant past , late shoes in an early car. Shoes must match the rear mount plates that hold wheel cylinders . Sent from my iPhone not by choice
On my 1956 Chrysler 300 B preservation car, I had the shoes re-lined , drums turned and shoes arced to match the drums at CH Topping in Long Beach, CA. I think their ability to match the shoes to the drums was crucial. I also replaced all the hoses, new master cylinder, and wheel cylinders. The result is a car that really stops great! you can see it here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=We5yo-WZTxs On Monday, June 28, 2021 at 8:17:49 PM UTC-7 hamlll wrote:
