Re: [FWDLK] Emergency Brake Shoes

[Larry Ashbaugh <ALIENVOICE@xxxxxxx>]

I ended up getting some shoes from a local place, Dover Brake for $38 and 15 core charge.  They said they would do more, but don't have the cores (someone on the list mentioned that as a problem).  I had e-mailed an order to Hiway Auto Parts, received a full reply with all the particulars, fore I think $28 + 20 core, saying they would contact me to complete the order (payment is all that was missing), but they did not contact me last week.  I may follow-up with them too, as I might get another set for the '58 Coronet (the set I just got is for the '57 Coronet).

Thanks to everyone for their advice on finding the emergency brake shoes for ForwardLook transmissions, and their offers to share what seems to be dwindling supply.  As a couple of you have said, they appear to be available from Hiway Auto Parts (I'm awaiting their reply) and I found some locally at Dover Brakes, near New Philadelphia, Ohio.  I was driving by today from work and called them on the cell.  They said they had a few sets.  I will see tomorrow, as I will be in one of our offices near there.  I will let you all know what I find, and prices.
