Re: Front Brake Anchor Pin Washer

Admittedly, this is a side note to the subject of this thread but...look those pins over good. I used to run a '61 and twice I had those s.o.b's snap off in front. That causes the wheel cylinder to go 'pop' resulting in loss of brakes with a single resivoir master. On the first occasion I hit a rural mailbox to stop, and on the second I was in a fast food parking lot and my decrepit e-brake brought me to a halt. I went disc after that. Once is a fluke, twice...I dunno maybe I was too lazy about adjusting my brake shoes which was causing the springs to over extend or something, but that was enough.
