'39 Brake Questions

[Bob_79]

Hi All,

This is my first (probably of many) post here. I joined because my father will be handing down a '37 coupe to me. It's currently a 60hp car, but he's got a Walt DuPont 8BA to be installed (hence the future questions).

Anyway... Today's question is about brakes. The car has a '39 hydraulic brake conversion. One of the wheels seemed "stuck" when my father last tried to move the car. Adjusting the eccentric adjusters didn't free the wheel, so we pulled the drum and it was clear that some moisture had gotten in and deteriorated the friction material on the shoes. Surprisingly, the rest of the mechanism looked good. All this detail and the real question is just who you like for a source for brake shoes. We'll likely replace them on all 4 corners.

Feel free to let me know if you have any suggestions or need any other details.

Thank you,
Bob
