E-brake Backing Plate Welding
On my new 1930, I am rebuilding the brakes. The E-brake backing plate shaft housing, the emergency brake toggle lever, and its two bushings have all seized. The shaft has sheared off its welds to the backing plate. Snyder's sells a
TOGGLE LEVER SHAFT HOUSING REPAIR KIT. Part # A-2637. The description states it requires welding to the emergency backing plate. I am a good welder. But, I request some guidance as to a detailed set of pictures of what I am recreating. I have the assembly drawing from the shop manuals and the parts diagram from Brattons. But, before a haul off, striking and arc and making sparks, I would like a little more detail and any help availble. Is the shaft perpendicular? Is it recessed? Has anyone done this before? What is a good order of operations, bushings first or after welding? Thanks in advance, Diastole |

Re: E-brake Backing Plate Welding
On my e-brakes that toggle lever housing is swaged, not welded, to the plate. One was loose and very worn. I was able to swage a new housing (the exact Snyders part you referenced ) onto the plate using an old brake adjuster wedge and a couple of raps with a hammer to expand the lip that sticks through the plate. Took only a couple of minutes and has been secure for years.
