Learning about 8 lugs
Decided to go through brakes/tires/drums on my '66 GP before anything else. Rims were blasted and I primed/painted them. Have a set of 225 70 R14 red lines to mount on them. Doing some reading/talked to some folks about 8 lugs, totally new area for me, it seems I need to get the fronts relined as I see the corrosion in between the liner and drum.
I see 2 companies that do relining. Can anyone suggest from personal experience with one? J&G or Z&L. One talks about arcing the brake shoes to make better contact with the entire liner. Any opinion on this? I'm set to do what is needed for me to run 8 lugs on the car so please offer any other suggestions or comments to help me along, as this is totally uncharted territory for me. Thanks!
