Harley Davidson big twin 1938 to 1940 mechanical front brake restoration

In this video, we work on restoring a mechanical front brake assembly for the restoration of a 1940 UH, so in this video we go through a somewhat step by step process for what it takes to restore the springer front fork type brake for a 1938 to 1940 big twin Harley Davidson. The overall assembly process is the same for all big twin springer type front brakes from 1938 to 1948. We start off with the general information on the parts used, then move on to where they go, followed by the assembly procedure, then restoration of the original shackle as well, and then finish it off by getting it all ready to be installed to the front end. So watch this informative video and stay tuned as we keep moving forward on this restoration.
