stutzl6 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 My 1929 M has 2 shoes shaped like a U . it has only 1 spring that goes to both shoes . It has a loop made on the back plate just under the center of the wheel cly. The spring is 10 ins long 39 coils in the center , coils are about 4 1/2 long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oldcartech Posted June 25, 2012 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I would venture a guess that those springs are likelystill available at any good auto parts store. Ask to see their EIS, WAGNER or equivalentbrake manufacturer’s books. Each usually has pictures and specifications forone to pick from. <o:p></o:p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark66A Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 Are they the three shoe bendix brakes? If so could be the same as on my '29 Stearns. I had all the springs reproduced for my car. email me and I'll send pictures with dimensions.. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Oldcartech Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I think those springs are available. Go to a Napaor equivalent auto parts store...preferably with someone older and wiser. They have a picture book as well as cross referance ability. Don't use their computer. Use the older books. If you fail, post. I will try to find you a number for the part.

Guest Oldcartech Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 I would check out Carlson Brake Parts cat C 100 or, go to Restoration Supply at Restoration Supply Company -- Featured Product and on page 46 there aare a few springs close to what you want that may work. There is a site that has new old stock dating back to the 20 but I cannot find it. Also, some small tractors still use old style brakes and I would also contact Antique Tractor Restoration Supply.
