TR3 Rear brake questions.
My car will be a easy driver - no racing.
I have 10 inch drums with 2 1/4 inch wide shoes and the brake cylinders were 5/8 bore with slotted piston tops. Mine are hopelessly corroded and need to be replaced. It appears that the 5/8 bore is NLA.
Will the rear lock up too easily if I go to the 3/4 bore cylinders? Or do I have no choice? Is my only option to find a balance valve? Who is the best source for the new cylinders?
Also - The brake shoes were ruined by grease from the hub. I have the axle assemblies all taken apart to replace the seals and bearings. Who is the best source for new shoes?
As always I look forward to any advice or ideas and experiences that any of you have. Thanks
