Bugeye front drum brake picture

[paulsherman]

Does anyone have a photo (or diagram) of the front drum brakes for a 1960 Bugeye. I have been putting this car together form boxes of parts I got years ago. I need a picture showing the layout of the backing plate, from the inboard side (wheel cylinders, cross pipe between cylinders, location of the bleed nipple and where the brake line attaches).

All the parts are new and installed, except that when I tried to hook up the brake hose it seemed short. Maybe I have the cross pipe in the wrong position. I have it connected to the upper ports in the wheel cylinders. No pictures of this in the factory manual or in parts catalogs.

Anything will help.
Thank you

Look at the Moss parts book. It is almost as good as a picture and maybe better.

Does this help?

Or this?

Thank you, everything has helped.

I should think, and I have been wrong, but a Bugeye is so simple that it could be built with the Moss parts list plus engine specs.

Paul,

This may be too late, found these pics that I took before tear-down:

David, never too late. I had the crossover pipe in the top fittings of the wheel cylinders. Corrected that, then tackled the rear brakes, which I was able to fix with the help of others.
Thank you
