1947 Plymouth Emergency Brake Shoe

[jwhite3242]

Good morning,

 

Hoping someone can confirm my suspicion that the shoe I received for my emergency brake is the incorrect diameter.

I have backed all the adjustments off to allow for the widest opening and the T bolt that closes the shoe will not reach through the swivel to allow the nut to be threaded on.

Am I missing something?  Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for any help offered.

It looks like there are plenty of threads on the other end of that stud.  You could move the stud over and there would be room for the nut.

Using an I phone I take it?  That file format isn't openable with my windows machine.

 

Anyway, seems there are too many suppliers using the wrong thickness brake friction material out there, probably your issue.

 

How to fix it?  Well here's come help
