Front & Rear Brake Shoes from Australia

Post by L60Boerne »

Greetings,
I am ordering two sets of front and rear G60 brake shoes from Australia. Does anyone else need any? They cost with freight to Texas about $225 per set. Freight is expensive, are there US sourced alternatives?

Patrolling for parts,

The US alternative is to have your existing shoes relined by a brake shop.

Thank you River Patrol. I think I will go the re-liner route.

I recommend having them relined and then arc ground to match the diameter of your drums. I realize finding a brake and clutch shop competent to do this is getting harder to find but you will have a much better job.

In my area it's $130 per axle to reline the shoes and fit the shoes to the drums.
