1926 Studebaker President front brake shoes

[Guest john cragg]

Help please! I recently bought a stalled restoration of what I believe is a 1926 President - it has 6 lug disc wheels, rod operated brakes, the drums are approx 14.6". Unfortunately the front brake shoes were lost years ago.  Does anyone have a set of four or any idea where they can be found. I'm in Qld Australia but quite happy to freight from world wide.

G'day John,

 

Not a Stude guy, but you could try the Studebaker Club of Australia  - http://www.studebakercarclub.net/

 

Or there are also a number of regional(State) Studebaker clubs too, link to Qld club - http://www.studebakerqld.org.au/

 

And post on the Studebaker Forum here on the AACA Website. It's further down the page, but here's a link - http://forums.aaca.org/forum/21-studebaker-erskine-rockne/

Will the recent aggressive enforcement of asbestos coming into Australia have any affect on getting shoes from overseas?

 

Wish I could help, but not a Studebaker guy.

Thanks Larry, I'm certain it will have an effect and be a very big pain,  I would prefer to buy a set with no linings if coming from outside Oz then get them lined here.
