I am working on a 1946 BN. The brake bands that were on it were the ones with 2 pins and a pivot. the parts book only shows the 1 piece brake bands with the rod already attached.
Problem is, I ordered new brake bands, the ones for the 2 pins and pivot (separate rod). They say they are for the 7" brake drum, but they appear to be about 1/2" - 3/4" too short.
anyone have similar issues with repro brake bands? should I try using the older style single piece with the rod connected?
