If you are thinking of converting to later hydraulic brakes or Lincoln backing plates on your Model A, Rat Rod or early V8, this is the product for you! This product is more affordable than hydraulic brake conversions and is high quality with hardened components. You will be surprised how well these kits work!
Testing The Kit:
Recently we fitted a Brake Energizer Kit to a Ford Model A and tested the braking ability on a braking machine, both before and after the kit was installed. The front brakes tested at 120 and 90 but after the kit was installed they both tested at 190. The rear brakes both tested at under 200 but after the kit was installed they tested at 240. An immediate improvement without any other changes! Also non-hardened components were tested in a 1934 Ford for over a year to study wear patterns and at this stage there are no signs of wear at all.

Fitting The Kit:
All kits come with complete instructions on how to fit the kit. It is a simple process taking only 2 to 3 hours to fit and does not require any drilling, welding or cutting. The components bolt onto the existing backing plate holes at the top adjuster and bottom anchor pin and eliminates the need to build up the lower track. The rear components fit onto the top adjuster. If required, your brakes can be return to the standard components without any hassle.
The Kit includes a total of 14 components and fitting instructions.
