T H ANK YOU! WetCJ was who did it. And Jon posted it up. I needed the pic of where to cut the shoes, as stated this maybe the way to go. Guess I'll know after I cut and grind the first one.
Parts guy says he doesn't know what a #60 shoe is. So what does the brake shoes fit? Chevy, Ford,??????? also what year? Thanks.
One guy made a jig to cut newer shoes to fit.
IMHO, it's just as easy to have your originals relined. That's what I did. Find a brake re-liner in your area. I found mine through a friend's in-law's Model A club. The guy did a presentation on brake shoes for their cars. Poke around your hometown (or nearest city) and see what you come up with. Price for mine (several years ago) was right around $100 for all four corners. Now that I have front discs, I have TWO rear sets. <g>
If you look at the page linked above, the pic #2 shows a stock brake shoe in the jig. Pic #3 shows the #60 shoe in there. The 2 upper and 2 lower pieces of square stock define the place to cut...put the sawzall right between the squares and cut the #60 shoe in pic 3 to look like the one in pic 2.
I thought it was a Chevy shoe...I am not willing to bet on that though...see if I can find out for ya.
