I want to replace my drum brake hardware (springs) Been to Napa, Advance Auto and Auto Zone to no avail. Are these available to purchase anywhere? I found that I can purchase the hold-down springs, but none of the others.
Any suggestions??
Thanks - John (Va) | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | Napa catalog shows part number 80304 for the return springs. They don't show a number for the holdown kits but they do for 61-63. They are the same size brakes as the 57. I don't know why they wouldn't work. The specialty suppiers have them also but I think you can get them locally.

Self adjusters would use a different hold down spring on one side. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 Riding in the Passing Lane | | Riding in the Passing Lane Joined: Jun 2004 Posts: 8,597 | 1964 was the first year for the self adjusters. That's why I don't know why 61-63 wouldn't work.

Advance Auto may let you go and look through the kits they have. I work part time there so it was no trouble for me. I went through a few sets and found one that had just what I wanted.
Perhaps you can do the same.... an if fact I believe a year or so ago the kit I ended up with for my 52 was actually for a 55-57..... until recently their computer would list stuff from about 54 or 55 up..... I guess they "upgraded" it since them!!
EDIT: I'm not sure but this may be the number for the hardwared kit...413841 TruTorquue.
As info the rear brake shoe # for Advance for a 52 model is FR55... an dohter years I believe.
