83' Drum brakes
Hey guys,
-83' F250 with the heavy duty drum brakes-
Before I put the drum back on does this check out OK?
Fought me the whole way so I disconnected the hold down springs to get the drum off in the first place.
Thanks for the help

Just out of curiosity, is there any reason in particular ford decided to run 1/4 inch brake line off the splitter to the rear drums and not thread the cylinder with anything you would usually run with that line? I couldn't find anything that fit both sides so I had to hunt down an unusual adapter. Have you guys found this? any better solutions out there? I don't like the idea of having more areas for possible leaks than necessary especially on a hydraulic brake system.

One my truck they ran standard 3/16 line on both sides of the rearend, but the one side they used a oversize nut, 1/4" line type threads on the outside, 3/16 hole on the inside.
I don't know why they did it, but the little brass adapter works well, all the parts stores seem to have them.
