Needed: Ford 8inch, 10x2 drum brake parts.

[AtlantaSteve]

I figure a few guys have done drum-to-disc conversions and have the few parts I need, so I'm gonna ask.

I need the parking-brake-lever, the "Spreader Bar" and the Shoe Retainer (little washer with wings that goes over the pin at the top and guides the shoes.

Anyone who has this crap laying around and would want to get rid of it, drop me a line with total price (incl. shipping to 30066).

Thanks!

I knew I should have kept my 10" brake stuff I turned in on trade for my 9" 3rd member. Oh well, I had to get into the back of the shed today and found some extra 10" parts, let me know what you need from the pics. The backing plate ones look complete, the parts on the ground are from my original 67 10" drums. The shoes on the backing plates are 2 1/4 actually. I think I bought these from someone for $20 a while back.

Just at tip but pretty sure you can use 2 1/4" or 2 1/2" wide shoes on the same drums, that's what I did with my current setup. I think the only difference was the length of the pins that hold the shoes on , everything else could be used on either size TMR.
Good to see you on again Steve! Any parts you need will cost you a beer at an upcoming MBB....

Thanks, Jon! Good to see you again, bud! I'll try to make MBB this year! Even buy you a beer even if we can't swap some parts.

BTW, i think I have some front-mustang-brakes that are your property. If you need those back let me know.

Now, as for what your pics, I'm assuming these are front, brakes, right? Because I'm not seeing the parking-brake parts...which is what I need...I have almost all the stuff I need to put my rear drums back on (The wife has told me it's do-or-die time with getting the stang back on the ground, where we can at least move it.)

So yeah, the parts I need are all in the rear. I should have made that more clear.

Thanks!

Arrrggghhh, I think you're right, the rears would have the spreader bar just below the wheel cylinder where these have a double sided spring. Sorry, thought I had dug something out you could use. I knew you meant rear and these had the empty hub in the pic on one of them but I think I pressed the front hub out of it...

Were you able to figure out the collapseable column? Don't worry about the calipers, I've got a few others, if you need them out your way we can always do that at an MBB hopefully or I'll get down to GA for something, no worry.
