Be careful rebuilding that Bendix Red Band hub. If you need spare parts be aware that they aren’t all the same and parts may not be interchangeable. Machining changed over the production enough that parts won’t fit from one to another. Pain in the ass. Lately I’ve taken to buying NOS Bendix Hubs and lacing those to my rims. They pop up on eBay quite often and you don’t have a problem with parts frustration. I have a box of used red bands and gave up trying to make a good one from them. A Shimano E-110 is a better coaster brake. They’re even better than my Morrow. I was disappointed with my Morrow for klunking. They do have huge brake shoes and are good for a downhill race like repack but for a 30 mile cross country race they are tiring to use because they need more back pedaling pressure than the Shimano. The Shimano modulation is good, you can easily feather the amount of braking you need and they are easy to lock up.
