Brake hardware kit?
I am having a hard time finding a rear brake hardware kit. I am running the original drum brakes on the rear of my 1951 3100. I tried Brothers, Classic Industries, Rock Auto, general Google search...nothing
I could probably reuse the original hardware but a couple of the springs are suspect and I would rather not. Any help would be much appreciated.

Re: Brake hardware kit?
If you have a Napa Auto Parts, they have the proper hardware kits. I think the kits fit drum brakes up to about 1987

For fun, I tried looking up his year and also my '57, online NAPA, and no luck.

Scratch this comment...I don't think LMC offers what you're looking for. They've got shoes, cylinders etc. but doesn't look like they offer a hardware kit on its own.

Re: Brake hardware kit?
NAPA on-line search are marginal at best. I go to the store grab the oldest counter guy, who grabs the MOOG, etc. catalog and finds the part without the computer. The "company" told them to toss the books and use the online system, he kept the books and hides them when corporate shows up...

Napa p/n 2201 List price $7.99. This not listed for the 3100 series trucks but it works for me.
That's the benefit of having "old school" parts guys |

Re: Brake hardware kit?
I'm not having much faith in my local NAPA these days. I went it with a fan belt that had a NAPA number still on it and he had a hard time looking it up because it I had no vehicle application. It was for a big box fan, Same guy could not look up a 50 amp J case fuse without a vehicle year.

Re: Brake hardware kit?
These parts "newbees" really are a pain. Heaven help us when the old school guys who can still find things with out an application.
I love going into a big box parts house & they ask what I'm working on " 1949 Chevy 3100 / 327 / m 21 / 12 bolt with a pine scented air freshener" The deer in the headlights look is priceless. |
