Those Napa parts must come with the optional gold plate finish.

11" drum brake parts have increased in price over the last decade.

 

shrug
"Quality is like buying oats...."

 

so what are the best shoes to buy ,are any better than others .... this is for a off road rig ,,,,,not much road travel

 

I don't need the drums mine are smooth,,,,,, I just need shoes

 

I run 11" jeep in the back
and 11" bronco in front nothing is different except for backing plates.....shoes should interchange

 

I've heard of drum brakes before. Do you have a hand crank starter too?

 

Are you looking for it to stop better? Ceramic linings or mixture there of seem to work the best............Semi Metallic's might work but I doubt you would see much benefit until you heated them up.

Change the pedal ratio a little , that will add more brake force.

 

Hummmmmmm, No Comment!

 

for what I need right now Sway need shoes bad .and it's already torn down ..... I plan on possibly changing to disc eventually but that means a few more trips to the junk yard, I run Ford hubs/spindles so the disc setup I have won't work... it's all chevy......

 

I also should have asked for shoes not drums

 

I have a set of the premium OEM NOS shoes.
I expect that they are genuine asbestos linings !
I was going to post them for sale on the forum anyway.
They are from AMC Jeep and these are brass rivotted not bonded junk.
These are premium shoes and they have yellow zinc coated cores.
They actually have thicker pads than the Stock CJ's used ( the cores are ever so slightly smaller)
Also the pads are grooved for heat dissipation.

I have a 1 complete set for both front and rear axles.
Fits the 11" x 2" Jeep / Bendix drums.
Excellent Quality !

 

the hand crank option was discontinued by '59 ......or I would rock that against those plastic 40k+ jeeps ..... for what tis jeep does drums are fine ,,,,,,,,for now

 

11" premium riveted shoes from NAPA were $27
#UP10AR

in stock and already on the jeep .thanks guys

 

Of course he doesn't.... Hand crank starters came after the rope pull style that Steve has!
