Thursday we returned from our great coast 2 coast tour from San Francisco and on Saturday I joined a local tour through the Hunsrück Region with more than 100 cars.
My 1914 Model T Speedster was the oldest car but not the slowest one.
When I drove a long right turn with about 45 miles per hour I lost my left rear wheel.
I could hold the car on the road, could prevent slinging and I was okay.
But my A-C brake shoe (large drums), my emergency brake shoe and brake drum backing plate are gone.

Where could I get especially the A-C brake shoe or a Rocky Mountain brake shoe (should be the same for the large drums?)?
The other parts might be available at Langs.
But maybe someone likes to sell good used ones.

Till 26th July my car will be waiting for the ship to Germany, therefore the parts could be send to Richmond, CA.

Most critical part is the large Rocky Mountain brake shoe, as I do not know a source to buy it (beside buying a full set).

Thanks a lot.

Hi Bernard,
Chaffins Garage has them listed in the catalog P/N 2566LDB.
Craig.

You might try Rocky Mountain Brake Co in Temecula Ca. 951 440-1451 39810 Bella Vista Rd. Temecula Ca 92592 P.O.Box 390912 Temecula, Ca 92589
I have their brakes on my car and they appear to be the same as the AC brakes on my other car.

Norman, Craig, many thanks for your advices.
Today I contacted Chaffins Garage especially regarding the Rocky brake shoe, which they listed separately but I also ask them if they have other parts I require.
Hopefully I can get all required parts from them.
If they do not have the single brake shoe I will go to the manufacturer of them

I'm not aware of brake shoes for Rocky Mountain or AC brakes. They do however, have brake bands.

Larry, of course you are right, the right expression for the part I require is band and not shoe!
