Title: Raybestos 2PG brake shoes
Post by: Jeri Conklin on June 23, 2012, 08:18:11 PM

I'm looking for 2 sets of Rabestos 2PG brake shoes for my 1949 Frazer, anyone have a resource?

This is a picture of the shoes we took off. In the alternative we may have to have the shoes relined. Any advice for a beginner? (I hope the picture comes in, sorry if it doesn't I will try again.)

Been successful acquiring brake shows for my '51s and '54s at NAPA.

Unfortunately, NAPA no longer able to get the "taxi" edition of brake shoes.

You should witch to the standard shoes that the rest of the full size car line used. To do so, all you'll need are new backing plates with adjusters, shoes, and hold down hardware. The drums are the same thru the line...I know...my 50K had the same shoes and set up as your car and I swapped everything with no problems.

Thanks sir. Where would we get the backing plate? Would we have to do that with the back wheels also I assume? Do you know if they are available through NAPA?
