Technical BRAKES..........F100 brakes on 37 to 48 Ford spindles..

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Deuce Roadster, Dec 9, 2003.

  1. Not sure what you have there; but all the drums are slip-on on the outside of the hub.

    F-100 hubs with F-100 drums or F-1 hubs with old F-1 or new Bronco drums work.

    Any chance you have F-1 hubs and F-100 drums; that combo would come up short and not cover the shoes.

    Rich B is the man when it comes to this topic, I replaced everything with the F1 setup on dropped 40 spindles. To take advantage of the bronco option of replacement drums in the future.

    So F1 and Bronco drum are an acceptable combination? I'll give it a try. When I slide the drums on that I have, it's still short of getting to the backing plate by 1/2" or so, maybe a bit more. Thanks, I appreciate it.

  5. Ask for an '80 Bronco rear drum. There is about 7/16" difference between F-1 and F-100 hubs.

    So, if I would have used F100 stuff, the overall width would be 1"or so narrower?

  9. Sure; about 7/16" per side. Barely noticeable, unless maybe you're rubbing fender lips on a low '33-'34 or something similar.

    I’m in the process of changing over to the ‘53 (ish) brake setup on my ‘40. I’ve got everything collected except the hubs.

    If someone has a serviceable pair I would be greatly interested.

    Having owned and driven a ‘53 F100 I know the brakes are adequate but not in the heavy towing department.

    Bump.

    Thanks for this thread I have '53 F100 brakes installed on my '40. Not tested yet.

    And, the original front brakes found a new home with someone who needed 'em.

    help,i am in the process of converting my 46 mercury to the f100 front brakes.i got to the point when putting the drum on it does not cover the shoes.bearing kit was bought from speedway.after removing backing plate noticed the inner bearing hits the seal hub and does not allow the hub to go back far enough to bring drum back to backing plate. can someone give me some advice.also what should the deminison of the f100 hub be?the one i have measures 4 5/8"end to end
     
  15. Did you grind the inner radius of the bearing to match the spindle? Even if not done a matching drum and hub will still fit.

    Do possibly have F-1 hubs? There is a difference in the offset between them. Another clue, F-1 center register smaller diameter too.

    how do i post pictures?
     
  18. The bottom picture is F-100 and the top picture is F-1; sounds like you have F-1 hubs. '80 Bronco REAR will drums work on F-1 hubs (since F-1 drums are obsolete).

    The inner edge of the inner bearing is customarily ground to fit the radius of the spindle and seat fully. The right bearing in the picture has been ground.

    If you are having trouble the picture is probably too big and needs to be resized.

    I replaced bearings twice and never had to make the inside radius larger; it was already large and cleared fine.

    1966 FORD F-100 5.8L 352cid V8 Wheel Cylinder | RockAuto

    so where some confusion may arise.
    1953 to 1967 front f100 wheels cylinders are the same - same bore

    has the 1 1/8 bore

    hmm,
    66 rear brake drum 11 by 1 3/4''
    FORD F-100 1959-1975
    so 59 is the dawn of the 9'' axle and all f100's til 75 use the funky 11'' brakes

    so, what is te bore of the brake master..... and when does it switch to a dual circuit
    and power assistance, and is it possible to get a comple stock brake system
    using a dual circuit power brake master and a 55 f100 front backplate, with a 9'' rear

    66 is single
    More Information for CENTRIC 13065009 (rockauto.com)
    what is its bore?
    = 1'' they are all 1 inch
    single
    More Information for CARDONE 1037781 (rockauto.com)
    68-72 drum brake power assisted
    More Information for CARDONE 101388 (rockauto.com)
    1''

    notes, front to rear brake
    friction material difference front to rear 25 percent more to front.
    so if you have 10 by 2.5'' rear drums = no good get rid

  23. Those are F-1 hubs.

    The assembled picture is looks like an F-100 drum on your F-1 hubs.

    Won't work; get yourself some Bronco drums as I mentioned in post #75.

    The bearing rework is just to let the bearing seat over the radius on the spindle snout, this will not move the hub inward any noticeable amount.

    A die grinder with a stone will work; the bearing is pretty hard and will chip a carbide burr. If you chose to do this; tape the bearings up and clean well before and after removing the tape.

  24. Have the same system. Lots of different combinations that have different stacked dimensions. I ended up not being able to get a split pin in the castle nut. Swapped it fo a Fordson castle nut instead of Model A and all was well.

    More Information for SKF BR14116 (rockauto.com)
    already have the chamfear
    [​IMG]
    skf!
    is it enough?

    it doesn't come up in the rock auto search when simply entering 14116
    you needed the BR in front


    wheel bearings from a 1980 dodge d400
    SKF BR14116 {Click Info Button for Alternate/OEM Part Numbers} Info
    Front Outer; 5000 lb. Axle
    that makes sense as when its a wheel bearing it is an outer wheel bearing so does not need the chamfear.
    when used as a 4wd transfer case output shaft bearing, its don't need it either.

  27. No it isn't. Couple pictures detailing this for those who feel the mismatch is something to be dealt with.

    any in depth shots of the spindle clearancing for f100 wheel cylinder
     
  30. The grey spindle is the minimal approach to clearance; while the magazine picture is more heavy handed.

    The brake hoses you use may also determine extent of clearance needed. A BH58536 or BH381172 hose has an offset hex and reduces the needed cut.

    Note: the grey spindle is ground on both sides of the kingpin boss for uniformity of appearance ; only the rear corner needs the clearance.
