Title: brake shoes (front and rear)
Post by: CQNRQY on December 31, 2010, 06:48:12 PM: I got a bendix # 49042 on the front shoes.
After some research I think it translates to Bendix R176 and BFR176. ;D ;D
Can anyone confirm that is correct? :-\ ( I meassure the drum ID as 9"x2" and 10"OD. as I understand this R176 is for 10"x2" drum.
Now I'm confused. ???
Can someone set me straight.
The correct Bendix # and possibally a Raybestos # would really help out.(no one hear carries them in stock. I have to order them to compare them I'm stuck with them at around $58. I'd rather get it right the first time)(I've seen this # listed at $28 on line.
A more currant application with the same shoes would also be handy for ordering replacement since no one lists 53willys. ( this worked real good for the wheel cylinders flex hoses. Same as 73Maverick ).Front and Rear if available
Thanks

Not a bad idea, but... I'm short some of the shoes.
Some of the white box deals are so cheap I was hoping to get lucky with a currant crossover.
I was hoping some one could confirm that Bendix R176 or BFR176 was a good fit ...
Or someone had a Raybestos #.
Does a 53 HenryJ corsair us the the same front and rear brakes? (JC Whitney has listing for them)
Thanks

They should have all the brake stuff you need in stock.
