Re: Sources for Wagner drum brake hardware?



That square clip thing is actually what the Bendix brakes had from the factory, The hold down hardware I have looks like a nail with a head on each end and it has a large, flatish C shaped spring clip that goes under one of the heads. I just took a picture of what I'm after. The picture is at http://www.mattsoldcars.com/1967american/images/wagner_hardware.jpg and it shows the return springs and one of the hold down pins and clips.

Any suggestions on where I can get return springs and hold down hardware (this type uses a pin and a spring clip)?

My Hornet used the !@#$%!! spring plus square retainer (square hole in the backing plate) which I found to be just a terrible design. I converted it to "normal" bendix-type holdowns; after measuring heights (didn't keep records) i rummaged around at a parts store to find spring and post (the nail-like pin) of the right length. I backed the pin/post thing with a #10 washer. Works

perfectly.
