Hi all,
Mobiltec needs your help. I need brake linings for a 66 Super Shasta. The old ones will gt it 450 miles home but for the first time since I've been doing this NAPA can not find the brake linings for this trailer. 12 inch drum. Electric/magnetic. 2 inch wide linings.
Can anyone help?

Woohoo! Brownie points! But at that price for the shoes, you may as well get the fully populated brake plates.

The class last night was a really good refresher on doing drum brakes with the added differences of them being on a trailer with the magnet and such. If there was a video camera recording all of us doing drum brakes, they would all be just as eventful as last nights class... Re-installing springs on the shoes will always be a fun adventure for everyone.

And not one cuss word the whole time...  I'm glad you enjoyed the class. It was fun for me too. |
