I have trawled t’internet, read 100s of posts and looked at 1000s of shoes on parts sites, but just can’t seem to find the right brake shoes for the front of my ‘59 A10. The hub is 42-5853, 8” and the existing shoes measure 1-1/8” but all I seem to find at 1-3/8”, which won’t fit, or will they?
I am struggling to believe it’s this complicated, can someone point me at the correct ones to buy please?
There is meat on these but the brakes are pants! Changed cable, greased the bits that need greasing etc but still poop! They are VERY old, probably not changed for 20+ years.
I am ready to be enlightened and receive your wisdom gratefully, if only for the sake of my sanity and to prevent my wife killing me!
Can’t post pics for some reason so they are attached.
Thanks.
