Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Brake help-77 hornet

[AMC74HORNET@xxxxxxxxx]

Just bring a set of shoes and have them matched up, that is unless you
are going to one of them chain stores manned by idiots that only know
what a computer tells them and can't read a book. Sounds to me like you
got the standard Hornet 6 cyl.  brakes. I never had a problem getting
brake parts for both my 74 Hornets. One has the stock 74 Kelsey Hayes
disc/drum set up and the other one has the stock Bendix disc/drum set up
off of a 79 Concord. I never go to a chain store for parts. I been going
to one local independent parts store 25 years now.

I am trying to replace the rear brakes on my 77 amx hornet w/258-
4spd.  According to the parts stores, the drums are supposed to be 10
x 1 3/4, but I measured mine and they are 9 x 2 1/4- 2 1/2.  Does
anybody know what brakes shoes will work?  I tried 1977-1978 hornet,
gremlin, concord, pacer, matador and 1974 javelin and nothing worked. 
Could these be earlier (1971-1972) hornet shoes?  Thanks alot in
advance.

Dan
