Working on the brakes today. I have no Idea what happened here, but pretty darn sure, that hole is not supposed to be in the drum.
I removed the left fender since I have some body work to do on it and of course it makes it a dream to work on the Treadle and brakes.
Treadle was original still had the Trossel seals and looked almost brand new inside minus the dried fluid. Treadle vac is all apart and soaking, tomorrow will clean up and rebuild.
All brake lines are solid, used compressed air to clean the brake lines and test the wheel cylinder action. I happen to have a spare rebuild kit for the cylinders so I will rebuild them. The brake shoes look almost brand new very little wear, the guy had to have had a recent brake job before he parked it.
Comments on that hole in the drum????
