I was ready to put brakes back on and realized I had tossed old shoes away with the emergency brake levers still attached. Where might I find more? Anybody got some they might sell?
I also have been good of taking digital photos of everything I have taken apart in my frame-off restortaion, but apparently didn't take photos of rear brakes. Any idea where I might find an exploded view?

Find out how long the exact type of brakes you have ran, and head to the wrecking yard. Take both whole backing plates home with you, in case anything else is missing, and you can use the assembled piece as a reference. I'd be surprised if the 59 brake style didn't run a few years before and after.
The time spent cleaning the parts will be a good reminder about not tossing ANYTHING until your parts are reassembled.
Good luck....We're counting on you...

My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787. Knowledge is a wonderful thing, but ignorance means you don't know you can't do something.

I will know when I go to the shop tomorrow. E-mail me a phone # & if I do I can mail them out. I know I dont have the horrisontal brackets that go between the shoes. George [email protected]
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing. 1972 Chevy c10 Cheyenne SuperIn the Gallery Forum | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 18 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 18 | I couldn't readily find a emeregncy brake strut for my 1958 3100... just bought the truck. I guess they lost it and just assembled the brakes without. Anyway, I had one as a pattern. Cut a new out of 3/16" with a junky old jig saw, drill, hand file, and bench grinder. took ~30 minutes. May still heat treat with a torch. it works fine. The levers would be more work! http://www.filehigh.com/serve/8290/255823.jpg | | |
