I am not sure about the brake differences tween a 100 and 250....

Obvious differences are the drums, 8 lug vs 5 lug. The 54/55 shop manual shows differences in the brake pads as well. Would need a parts catalog (or Numbers Dummy...the next best thing) to verify but I believe the MC and WC's are different as well. MC and WC rebuild kits and replacements are available. If your drums are shot then you have to work a bit harder.
