deuce brake parts

[BFR]

how "loose" should the C shaped clips that secure the bottom of the brake shoes be? they were tough to get off, but now I can easily put them on & take them off w/o tools???

You want a bit of a fight to get them off.. Cause you dont need them to come off while your bouncing down the trail......

Run over to Napa and pick up some new ones... Ya dont want to loose while driving!!! (no squeezy so hard on da C clip plyers next time)

conversely, squeezee the old ones after you put em back on..they should not be loooseeey gooosey...fer sure... Somewhere in my parts, I have new small parts kits for the Deuce Brakes..not seen em in while... maybe at next flea market, they will surface.

since we all know ace is busy (in bed reading a -10....) Does anyone know where I could find new brake hardware? I think I will replace it when I flip hubs.

I will try to find a kit in my trailer so I can get you the part # at least.. The little kits, one for each wheel sell for $12 ea..and that is $72 for the truck...it all adds up... That is why I suggested reusing some of the stuff... Actually I have been reading the new Harry Potter book in bed lately, and most of them lived happily ever after...Don't forget the OHT on the broomstick booster.

This stuff? If you can't find the horseshoe washers, VTCSM37 on ebay has them or is it AB Linn?

 

[devilman96]

stock it?

Nope... I had someone ask for them the other day so that got the ball rolling.. Usually takes me about a month (sometimes two) to get new stuff like that in but its a'comin...
