Here is a picture of the rear axle in mine. This is original. 1 1/2 inch bore wheel cyl. Every thing in the front of the carrier was original, but back behind the cam plate, on the floor, each side was a bell crank, which operated a ford 1 1/4" master cyl. The two long brake rods, were shortened, and operated the bell crank.
On this set up, the back plates, and brake drums were cast up for the application, the brake shoes coming from one of the CMP's, and being bigger than other carriers.
