Bendix Style Front Brake Kit for 1937-48 Ford Spindles, 12×2 Inch

If you want the early look but are reluctant to use old non-energizing drum brakes, we have just what you need. This complete front drum brake kit includes backing plate assembly, brake drums, wheel hub, wheel bearings and seals.

Our 100% new self-energizing backing plate assemblies come complete with shoes, wheel cylinders and hardware. Fits either the front of 1937-48 Ford cars or 1937-47 Ford half-ton pickups.

The new 12″ x 2″ brake drums and wheel hubs are front early Ford car of the 1940 design which was slip-over drum configuration (brake drum mounts to the “front” side of the hub).  Studs are installed on a 5 on 5-1/2″ bolt circle.

Wheel Cylinder Inlet: 7/16″-20 straight thread
NOT 7/16″-20 IFF
Inlet fitting will require a sealing washer or O-ring style fitting
Bolt Pattern: 3-3/8″ center-to-center both horizontal and vertically
If using Model A or B spindles the holes will have to be elongated inward to fit the narrower bolt pattern

We recommend use of adapter rings 916-31928 to keep the spindle centered in the backing plate
