C-30 Question

Are early C-30 (mech brakes) backing plates RIVETED to the spindles??
And therefore are later C-30 (hydraulic brakes) spindles DIFFERENT??
Thanks in advance.

Anyone have an idea?

My 1935 C-1 ( mechanical brakes) and my 1936 C-15 (hydraulic brakes) have similar drums (neither are riveted). I would think the C-30 would not be riveted either, but can't say for sure.

Always learning here.
Thanks, Dave.

This is the backing plate for the 1935 C-1 with mechanical brakes in as found condition. The drum was full of grease. It looks like a previous owner filled the dust cap with grease every 500 miles and screwed in in, forcing grease into the brakes.

He must've owned an old VW once.
Those guys pack the hubs..
Not so good on an old IHC.

At least that side didn't have any rust! MM

i think that would lead to very inefficient brakes!

Here is a picture of a backing plate from a 1934 C-30 with mech brakes. If you need any more info on the earlier C-30 let me know I am currently trying to restore one. davemcc what kind of generator is on your C-15 any info would be greatly appreciated.

wurt The generator on my C-15 is a Delco Remy Model 937 R.
