    ..anyone done it??
    degree of success??

    I was in the "thinking room" earlier today puzzling this....

    im running a Model A frame , 32 front x member, 32 to 38 tube axle, thinking of brake options.. (318/904 combo)

    in my Plymouth bodied 52 Desoto . the front brakes had a single slave cylinder for each brake shoe. something like the equivalent of 201 sq inches of braking..

    throw a brake booster on the back and theoretically the 'stoppers' should do just that ......
    so then dimensionally is this possible? what is the distance between the king pin mounts on the back of the drums and what is the king pin diameter. on the dodge drums

    ie what are the chances of this fitting?? ..

    I know there are so many options out there . this may or may be a good one .. but keen to explore this

    thanks
