Three Reasons to Pick Up Ford Replacement Parts for Your Drum Brakes

When you are working on your dream Ford, the idea probably isn't to slow it down. However, eventually you'll need that beautiful piece of machinery to come to a stop, so make sure it has the right brakes for the job. Pirate Jack sells tons of Ford replacement parts such as our Ford 8" or 9" Rear Disc Brake Kit w/ Drilled & Slotted Rotors (1957-1970 Fairlane, 1964-1973 Mustang, 1958-1971 Thunderbird). These kits are meant to change your old drum brakes over to new disc brakes as easily as possible. But why make the conversion? 

Drum brakes are prone to issues. Simple things like weather can quickly degrade the quality of the brakes. The biggest flaw, though, is that when it comes to heavy braking situations the drum brake can actually be less effective. This was especially true on older model cars (before changes to brake design and disc brakes became standard in the 1970's). So if you are cruising in a gorgeous Ford muscle car but are relying on your drum brakes, you could be putting all of your hard work (as well as your health and safety!) at risk.
