it is burried deep in this site http://chrysler300country.com/table_of_contents.htm there are references to the Centerplane brakes on our 300's It answers the Brake Fade PROBLEMS some experience it says the 300's got semi-metallic brake lineings NOT the organic that is used in the replacement shoes you probably are using today. This might bear some varification and further exploring. I know several years ago I chatted with a brake place that said, given the right shoes we can reline them with what ever material specified by the customer in an effort to get better braking. Maybe semi-metalic linings were ORIGINAL, but the aftermarket supply chain back in the late 50's didnt have the material???? so hence forth, we were not getting the proper lining material and no-one was the wiser??? -- Paul Holmgren 2 57 300-C's in Indy Hoosier Corps L#6 To send a message to this group, send an email to: Chrysler300@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For list server instructions, go to http://www.chrysler300club.com/yahoolist/inst.htm For archives go to http://www.forwardlook.net/300-archive/ Yahoo!
