I got my 51 Commander off the rack and on the road today for the first time in months. Despite turning the brake drums to eliminate glazing, they are still too exiting for my taste--read-not very spirited in stopping the car. All my local stude buddies say that these drum brakes should be adequate for the task,and I believe them.
The master cylinder was replaced with a dual, and I'm wondering if the brake pedal is set up to travel enough to fully actuate the brakes. The pedal seems to 'bottom out' about an inch above the floorboard. The brakes do work, just not with much gusto.
Any ideas or suggetions??
