Default Need help fitting brake shoes to drums. 1937 Ford

Hi,
I'm looking for someone who can grind my brake shoes to fit my brake drums. I live close to St Louis Mo. Any help would be appreciated. I have a 37 Ford with the wide five drums. Thanks.

Try posting this on the Model A side. There's a fellow in/near St Louis that does Model A repairs and I'm sure he has a source. His Handle might be Larry's 40, not real sure.

Try these guys in McHenry, Illinois, northwest of Chicago, not far from the Wisconsin line. They can even replace a worn-out surface in a drum with new insert. They KNOW antique drums! Link BELOW! DD

Like V8Coopman says J&G are the go to guys for shoes and drums. I had all drums relined with cast iron for my 37 LaSalle and shoes relined with semi metallic composite, then all shoes and drums arched in matching sets. Expensive but a quality job and now I feel much safer at highway speeds. A good investment!
