Brake Shoes 1947 Club Coupe

[Conn47D24]

Me again.

 

Laying out brake parts to start rebuilding and noticed new shoes didn't have the holes for the Rivets in the "Rod " or Pin that pushes out of the wheel

cylinder.

 

Also, on my old shoes only the FRONT shoes used these riveted rods. Even though the parts book shows the rivets used front & rear.

 

Are the not used any more ?  Are these new shoes incorrect ?  Should they be front and rear ?

 

 

Thanks

My 48 D24 did not have the rivets front or rear.

If it was me and everything else matched up, I'd say.... use them.  You just have bonded pads, not riveted.

You don't need to use the W/cyl push rod with the pin through it.

Older cars used those.

No one does today on rebuilds.    At least that I've seen in the last 35 years!!

Good to hear Zen Master as AB and other suppliers either don't sell new shoes with these holes, OR never heard of them.

 

I will proceed as soon as the proper 11" shoes come from AB.

 

Engineering overkill by Dodge back then ? 

 

Thank you !
