Contact KF parts vendor Rudy Phillips at 760-789-3608. He has all the parts necessary to fix the brakes on the old Frazer.  Larry

If same as '51, I found TS-53 shoes at NAPA.

There's a fellow near me that just did a brake job on a 1948 Frazer (I don't think it's you...) and if I remember correctly, he said he got his shoes at NAPA so Doc is providing good info.  You will need a B.F. wheel puller to remove the rear drums and you'll likely need to shock them off (hitting the axle with a B.F.H.).  By the way, the B.F. in wheel puller stands for the same thing it does in the B.F.H.

Also, there is the thread under the Kaiser Forum called "Drum Pulling" which has some good info on this so check it out.

This topic is almost 7 years old.  Is Rudy Phillips still around, or can anyone else help me with finding parts to repair the brakes on my 1948 Frazer?

I just acquired a set of the TS-53 brake shoes from Advance Auto. Link here for K/F brakes part ssupplier:

What is becoming very difficult to acquire are the 3/16" brake lines (5/16" fuel lines as well) as the standard local parts stores have ceased to stock it. If you see any at a NAPA, or any other parts supplier, it would be advisable to buy it.

The 5/16 and 3/16 double flare steel tubing shouldn't be that hard to get. I buy it on a regular basis. A real auto store have it. You can also buy rolls of it with no ends so you make the long lines to the rear one piece like the originals. You will have to double flare the ends yourself but it will look correct.
