More question: I pulled the hubs on my 30 model and discovered that I need new brake shoes. While checking for parts in the FS catalogue I discovered that they list twelve shoes for this operation, two long, one short per wheel. My 30 only has one long and one short shoe. Am I missing a long shoe? Just by looking I haven't figured out how the other shoe would attach.

Thanks,
DD

The rear brakes each have four shoes. I've posted a photo on the "Member's photos" of my '30's shoes just after reinstallation.

All the Best, Chip

You might want to pick up a 1929-32 parts book for your car and it will be extremely helpful in doing research for the correct parts for your 1930. There are lots of illustrations in the parts book as well.

wink :) :grin:

I have always relined the shoes myself. Most reliners use a hard modern lining intended for hydraulic brakes. I have found the soft woven lining at heavy equipment shops or swap meets and have a countersink bit that I can use to drill the rivet holes. I am sure that the Filling Station relining also uses the soft lining as they drive early 30s Chevys.


How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
