Location: Elba, NY | MY 58' SAVOY PARKING BRAKE BAND IS WORN OUT, WERE THESE ALL PRETTY INTERCHANGEABLE? - DODGE, CHRYSLER, PLYMOUTH, ETC. - OR WERE THERE SPECIFIC SIZES? I'D HAVE TO MEASURE MINE AGAIN, IVE FOUND SOME THAT WERE CLOSE IN THE PAST BUT NOT EXACT.

Location: Valley Forge, Pa. | Don't know about 58s but I have a 57 parts book and it appears to show one size fits all MOPARs for that year except Imperial if that is any help. For 1957 the part # is 953 916 which may be the same for 1958?
For what that worth?

Location: Minor Hill, TN | I believe they are ex changeable but I am not sure you might want to ask some one who has 1 but if you have a parts exchange book that will give you more imformation on whats exchangeable between the '57 and '58 plymouths |

Location: Eastern Iowa | Have you considered having it re-lined?
McMaster Carr has brake lining material in a variety of widths.
You can bond it to the foundation or if yours has rivets, you could drill holes and do that.
i have purchased this for re-lining shoes on garden tractors
Good luck!

Location: Valley Forge, Pa. | I believe I saw just the lining for a Studebaker on Epay. Unless the diameter is a lot different, then the width would be the only issue and I am guessing that doesn't have to be exact if it is a little less in width? |

Location: Elba, NY | I suppose it could be relined though the metal in the bottom of the band is quite thin due to rubbing in the drum, fortunately it doesnt appear to have worn the drum much at all, but again it probably could be relined |

Location: Alaska | Assuming you are talking about the external band for a manual trans. they should be easy to find. John (BigM) should have several used ones. |

Location: Seville, OH | Does anyone know what the original lining thickness is? I am taking mine (57 Dodge) in for reline, but I don't want to go too thick. |

If you are meaning Auto Trans Shoes ( Pair) .. The thickness of the Shoe Lining is 5/32in , Europeans using metric, it is almost 4mm
Check a thread i ran last year about Relining Shoes

Location: Seville, OH | Sorry, I should have clarified, one-piece external manual trans brake band. But from your link, it looks like the 5/32" applies as well. Thanks!
