RE: [Chrysler300] Brake shoe retainer/hold down spring - G





Be very careful to get the parts for HD brakes as the wider rear shoes may require different springs and nails.  These may be included under 300, wagon or HD suspension.

 

Rich in Brentwood  with a 300 Ram K car having HD brakes standard.  3” wide shoes & drums vs. 2 ½” on most other ’64 Chryslers. Came to me with 2 ½” shoes in the 3” drums.  Worked OK, but t’warn’t right.  Shoe lining material and length on different ‘64’s were different also, but that’s too much to ask.

Have you checked your local parts house?

This kinda thing is readily available at any of the 4 parts houses here in Mena.

These springs, pins and cups are generic, I believe, and fit thousands of cars.

Even if they don't have a kit listed for your car, check what they have for fit.

I just bought kits for the rear of my Hurst, and I'm sure the hold downs are the same as any I have ever installed.

The kits may differ due to the other springs included, which may be different from model to model, but the shoe hold down is the same.

Looking for the brake shoe retainer spring hardware (nail, 2 cups, coil spring) for a G. Don't see it listed for this application on internet searches. Does anyone know of a source? I imagine this retainer length was used on other applications and would be willing to get a hardware set for that other application.

Thanks.
