The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts adjusters for 46 2 ton rear brakes

Hey All

The brake adjusters on my 46 2 ton rear brakes are pretty much frozen. Do any of yall have a set of 4 that you are willing to part with? One of them is missing, and that makes that shoe get backed off over time.

Also, the rear brake cylinders are kind of wore out. I can get them bored out and sleaved but I thought I would ask about those too. They leak even after being rebuilt.

Any chance you can come up with original
GM part numbers for the parts
you need ?

its sort of hard to read but it looks like 4878
its the round parts within the backing plate, they look like round stars, and are on both sides of where the brake cylinder mounts to the backing plate

the cylinder assembly part number on that diagram I cannot read.

I found the brake cylinders!

Jay Brown, I gave it a shot on the adjusters you need.
I replied to your post in Parts Wanted.

many many thanks.
however I dont know where to purchase them.
this isnt something that somebody like jim carter truck parts, or chevs of the 40s would carry.
Does General Motors have a classic center where you can order obsolete parts like this?
