Thanks for reading! i have a Beautiful unrestored 1953 dodge Coronet 4 dr. 6 cyd. it was in storage for about 45 years until a couple of months ago. the man who owned it took apart the left front wheel assembly a long time ago to replace wheel cylinder i am quessing and lost some of the parts. I am in dire need of the two bolts that hold the brake shoe and wheel cylinder on. does anyone have two that they would sell me for the Left front? PLEASE! I cant find them anywhere. I have a guy going thru the brakes right now and he cant finish until I find those bolts. If anyone is in Ohio I will come pick them up ASAP. Thank you! Iam also looking for a clutch return spring and a clutch over center spring.

Hi and sounds like a nice car. I also have a 53 Coronet, but don't have the bolts you need. According to my parts book, any Mopars from at least 1946 thru 1954, and in some cases earlier, use the same bolts as your car. If you haven't done so, next thing I'd do is buy a shop manual and parts book. Both are available on ebay and other online sources, either original or reproductions. Both have come in handy for me.

Coincidently, my dodge was in storage 45 years (1964 - 2009) when I bought it from the original owners' family. It's one of 4,100 convertibles built that year and is in complete, unrestored condition. Had to go through everything, as I'm sure you're doing. Would like to see some photos.

Good luck, the bolts shouldn't be too hard to find.
