74lj-slt Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Been having a nightmare finding replacement rear brake shoes for my 73 Crown. Supercheap had some that their computer said was for a MS Crown, took them home but no go must have been for a newer one. Can't remember part number Then got some from Australia Part# N1062, the site said for MS65 Crown and the picture looked the same but..... Got them and they're too small. Must be 228mm and mine are 254mm. Anyone brought shoes for their MS65 Crown before with success? Guessing i'm going to have to reline the existing shoes but one has been damaged slightly when waiting for the new shoes from Aussie.

bogangeof Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Have you tryed any other parts places? Appco, bnt or partmaster. Someone should have something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74lj-slt Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yeah, Apex brake n clutch pretty much laughed and said no way have to reline old ones. Waikato brake n clutch had a look but said no have to reline old ones. Repco said no. Not BNT or Partsmaster tho, although I've already had to return ball joints to partsmaster for supplying the wrong ones. Wouldn't have thought them that odd ball!

Spencer Posted September 29, 2014 Share Posted September 29, 2014 Two sizes listed on rockauto, one could be correct? http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1439692,parttype,1688 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
