AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #1 Posted February 7, 2017 Hello all, I'm restoring this 1957 rj 35 and was wondering if anyone makes repop brake parts for it. This one had no parts when I bought it and I just wanted to know if someone repops this stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,363 #2 Posted February 7, 2017 The brake kit was an option and I do not know of anyone reproducing them. If you had the measurements and have semi decent welding skills you should be able to duplicate it. I re lined my brake pad myself and you could reach out to Maynard here in the vendor section for the pad. You would need to figure out how to fab the metal for the band. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinsRJ 723 #3 Posted February 8, 2017 If you are looking for an original look the cable sheath could be a difficult item to locate/duplicate. You will also need a rear hub without the ridge on the gear case cover side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cable to the brakes was a parking brake cable from a car or truck. Don't know if anyone has the information on what make or year, obviousley '55 or earlier.

AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #5 Posted February 8, 2017 Thanks for all your help. I am a fabricator so I can make the parts, I was just probably going to need the brake band and the cable. The rest I could make. I have another 57 and 56 with complete brake assembly's to copy from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
