Good morning. The backing plates on the front of our 1952 had some deep grooves from the shoes. We had ground smooth a lip/ridge on the rear plates. Well, now we have little to no pads left on the front plates. So, I went online to look for new ones. Apparently, these are not very common since I'm having issues finding new replacements. We are not planning on going to disc brakes any time soon. What are my options? I have someone on a Facebook group that has some from a 1954. What years are compatible with 1952? Are there any other vehicles/years that would work? Also, I was told that the grooves should have been brazed before grinding. I'm not familiar with that at all. If someone could provide insight on this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
