DonaldSmith Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I had my parking brake relined at a local shop that served the trucking and fork-lift industries. There is something about not getting the new lining too thick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kencombs Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 Or, if you really want to DIY, the material is available from McMaster/Carr and others in bulk, undrilled. Cheap too. Can be bonded or riveted, if you have the correct drills. I've used that approach on trucks and tractors with the same type band and almost impossible to find OEM.

Doug&Deb Posted September 21, 2019 Report Share Posted September 21, 2019 I had my D24 done by the local NAPA. I did have to tell them what thickness was needed. You can find this in the parts book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casper50 Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 $50. https://www.ebay.com/itm/p-n-1317832-41-50-Plymouth-Dodge-Chrysler-DeSoto-Emergency-Brake-Band-2-5-by-7/283623232743?epid=3025845599&hash=item42094314e7:g:qKIAAOSw4bhdiWlh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark D Posted September 24, 2019 Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 One of the easiest things to do yourself. The material does not need to be bonded to the steel band so its a simple removal of the old wear surface, cleaning up the band, and reinstall of the new wear surface. Remember to slightly countersink the rivets with a like size drill bit when you reinstall to prevent the rivets from being ground off by the brake hub. Oldmoparts.com has the replacement bands in stock. Mark D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
