Post by: waynos on July 25, 2008, 07:35:59 PM
i'm about to put in hr disc brake wheel cylinders but the shoes are off a drum set up i'm thinking of welding the pin to the shoe or welding some 3 mm flat bar in there ,can't see  my car for a few days so have to wait till then.
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
thanks waynos

Welding some metal in there should do the job, just make sure it's done properly or there'll be tears  :'(

Years ago when you had to do an exchange for the shoes and  they were hard to get,  I use to weld them up with the lining cooled by a wet cloth  now days you can buy them outright for not much $$$$ why bother .......FC427........
