Rear Drum Brake Replacement
#1
I recently bought a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang. I was checking the brakes at home and as I took the driver side drum off brake fluid was leaked everywhere. I'm assuming a bad wheel cylinder. Looking for good recommendations on brands of brake shoes and hardware. Would like to find American made but everywhere I check it doesn't let me know if American or china. Anyone have suggestions? I believe im just going to need the new shoes and hardware kits. or am I missing something?

Welcome.

I don't have any specifics to recommend for American made parts for the rear brakes but more power to you for wanting to source U.S. made parts.

NAPA used to be able to help with U.S. made quality parts but it has been a very long time since I had any connections there.

Check with Don at Ohio Mustang. He may be able to help you. Regardless, he is a great source for down the road.
