hey guys im new to the site and ive only posted on the classifieds lol so i thought it was time to post on the message board i recently got my hands on an early banjo rear and i dont know jack squat about it !!! ive read some post on the site about rebuilding it but i dont know what to do or where to got in order to get this rear under my project ?????what will i have to do so i can turn the mechanical brakes into juice ?... i only got as far as to finding out where to get the open driveline parts but thats about it ! do i have to look for other parts to swap or do some mods to the backing plates ? do you know of a guy in so cal. that deals with banjo rears ? i think i got myself into a big pile
LOL seems like ya already have juice brakes, just missing a few pieces is all. Take the drums off and see if the shoes are still in it. That hole at the top is for the wheel cyl. You have juice backing plates on it.
i found a pic for the hub i have online its got two sets of bolts on the hub 5 on the outside and 5 on the inside like the pic below any reason why this looks like that ? im gonna look for wheel cyl in my raybestos book but gosh im so damn confoozed i looked for 42 - 48 and the hub is diffrent to what mine looks like so am i looking at another year ?
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=462776&showall=1 One of several techs on here... First rule: Eyeball original R&P and bearings closely. Originals if they have been kept lubed are frequently in good shape, and you may find you need little more than a good cleanup and new gaskets...note that gaskets are setu adjustments for mesh, so measure originals (likely 010") as a starting point for adjusting. If you need repro R&P, things start getting expensive ans setup can be troublesome.
OK, Pedro you are confusing the heck out of me. You are showing 3 different axles assemblies in your pictures. How many axles do you have? Show a picture of the axle you have. The first pictures shows 42-48 Banjo closed drive, the second a later 40's rear with modified tubes and open driveline. The 3rd shows some kind of race adaptation, mix of both wide five hubs (36-39) and later std 5- 5 1/2" hubs. Show your pictures! Maybe we can help you.
The original post definitely shows a '37-'40 rear axle. '42-'48 has a stud on the right spring mount (passenger side) for a panhard bar. Either way, you already have juice brakes (backing plates and drums). I don't know what's on the inside, but you may need to get wheel cylinders, shoes, springs, clips, and the grease boxes that keep grease from flying off the bearings, onto the drums and shoes.
sorry guys for confusing you with the pics but the pics posted bellow are all from the same rear and thanks for the info im now looking for shoes and wheel cyl and springs for it cus its missing all of that

oh gosh thank you!!!! damn i was busting my brains out with the raybestos book looking for parts thank you for the list lol i guess i dont have to take myself over to cw moss anymore
Can't be a 35 drum. Wide 5's did not start till 36. Geting the park brake arms will be the hard part. They are not repoped by any one.
