Darn...cant even give the stuff away !

Model A are 11" and 32-34 are 12" so if they are 12" they are not model A.

quickchange · 11-08-2022, 12:58 PM

Mart yes , previous owner took A ones & welded an extra 1" too them to make them longer, hence trying to replace , have e mailed above offers but not getting reply's, tried sending direct but no reply, so still looking , could be a problem this end , thanks

Ok, you have me confused. The model A brakes are 11" diameter. You can't put a 11" diameter shoe in a 12" drum.
Maybe some good photos would be useful.

Some one had welded new ends on the shoes extending them to 12" then re arched them ,A total mess, Yes they worked but not very well , once owner brings them in again ill do a picture , You call it a farmer fix , Here in NZ we use a different saying ???

I can put a used set in a box, for free, you make arrangements with fed x, they show up at my house with the label, and its on the way south.

Would there be a problem in posting used old brake shoes? I know some countries have very strict rules regarding importing items containing asbestos.

Easy rip old linings off, appreciate the help. free beers next trip ?? Summer time in NZ

cas3 · 11-08-2022, 09:41 PM

The reason I know it can be done is I sold a wheel to a gentleman in Scotland once, and he did everything on his end. I put them in a box, measured the size and weight, he did the rest. Fedex emailed me for a pickup time, and thats it. I can remove the linings, you need 4 or 8 ?

He in NZ will have to have a FX acct.Probably easier to ship in a medium USPS flat rate box,$93.25 .FX might be double that.Maybe he can connect with a V8 guy in Australia for those shoes.
