Ross:
Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. As you know the bands are too big, I sent mine back and worked on adjusting the breaks to function better. I looked into making some bands to the proper size but the cost was to high. So my solution is defensive driving, down shift early and stay away from steep hills.

Do You own a car built by Durant? YES a D40

Alan I believe you have a Durant D60 series 2 touring with 14L 6 cyl from Africa with a vin plate off a Rugby D40 which is 4 cyl with W5A. The D60 does not have steeldraulic brakes. Those are used on 1930 - 32 Durant car, 1930 - 1933 Rugby truck and 1931 / 32 Frontenac.
The 60 has Four-wheel Bendix mechanical, internal expanding, self-energizing shoe type; 11" brake drums. Easy adjustment.

More info can be found here on your D60. This durantcar used to be on DMAC but luckily the waybackmachine site captured it.
