Brake thingies

[littlebob]

I'm working on the Deuce brakes and came accross a part I haven't been able to find yet. I don't know what the proper name is, but its the piece that the wheel cylinder pushes to expand the brake shoes. Anybody know of a source?

Did you loose them? If the ones pictured are yours just clean them up on a wire wheel.

Those don't usually wear out.

One of them was bent and broke when i tried to straighten it.

Post some measurements of it. I have an M103 chassis apart right now and if the part measures the same as the trailer, I'll send you one.

I have a bonus backing plate that I think has a wheel cylinder on it. PM sent.

 

[littlebob]

Thanks, Will and Doghead. Will Is going to see if he has one and if not I'll get the measurements.

Simplest thing is to gat the whole wheel cylinder.

I got new ones from I think TNJ, but were minus these pieces. Will was gracious enough to find one on old backing plate he had. Thanks for the input eveyone.

Bob, Still want it?

 

[littlebob]

Yes, please. The reply was to them coming with the wheel cylinders. Sorry if I made it unclear, just trying to thank you. No hurry This project has been in progress for 2-1/2 yrs.
I think I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, just hope its for the truck.
