Got the front brakes back together. The hoses I bought from Napa turned out to be incorrect. While they are the correct length, the fitting size is incorrect. They are too large. So back to Napa tomorrow. This time I will bring in the old hose so they can match it up. I think this is a difference between the '53 and '54 years.
Anyway here are the before and after pics. Only thing I wonder about is the lower spring. It's a different style then the one that was on the car. Any problems with the new one? I had to attach to the hole further in.
Also whoever rebuilt the brakes previously had put the adjuster in backwards, so the star-wheel did not line up with the adjuster hole.
