Front brakeshoe expander

Post by Woodland »

Hi Guys, can anyone help, the shaft on the front brake expander of my 1961 G2 is worn and I would like to replace it.
Funnily enough the hole it fits into is ok and is a good 0.500" (have checked this with a reamer).
Does anyone have a part number? and are these still available? Many thanks in advance

Yes just looked at this, its slightly different, but mine has a washer fitted to the top off the cam to stop the shoes sliding off

Sorry my mistake I read G12 not G2, my eyes are getting bad! No they are not available for L/W, building up and grinding or turning back is probably the only way.
