jhm Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Confused here.....are you saying that you've searched for an OEM-like replacement, and can't find one? I did a quick search on several major parts retailers, and many listed in stock. Maybe I'm missing something here? http://www.autopartsexpress.com/beck-arnley-081-0218-drum-brake-shoe?cse=GoogleProductSearch&utm_source=google%2520product%2520search&utm_medium=cse&utm_campaign=Drum%2520Brake%2520Shoe&gclid=CjgKEAjw286dBRDmwbLi8KP71GQSJAAOk4sjlDL6XoplypJYmM-1_sWXqOf3EkkNu0AesGcgVbP5i_D_BwE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgsheen Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Even all the brake hardware - springs and retainers - are readily available. You wouldn't want to use the parts that should have been there anyway unless someone had already recently replaced all that. It's not much money to buy all new parts. Should probably rebuild (or replace) the brake cylinder while you're in there. Oh, you're in the Philippines... You should just get TonyD over to help you with that.

NewZed Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 This web site is pretty informative. It shows that they're all the same until July-August of 1976 build date. http://www.carpartsmanual.com/datsuns30/DatsunZIndex/Brake/RearBrake/tabid/1734/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
