Ford Hydro shoe adjustment cams
« on: April 17, 2008 4:44 pm »
I'm not talking about the ones at the bottom that adjust the bottom of the shoe, but the ones that are mounted to the backing plate half way up. Both my rear ones are missing. THey are cams that look like snail shells. Are they supposed to be there or is this an emergency brake part? No one makes them new.
If I need the cams because they're the same front and rear (of the backing plate, not the car), add that to the wanted list in the wanted section!

If its emergency brake stuff, add that to the wanted list in the wanted section.

I've obviously never seen these brakes fully assembled.

You NEED them. Your brakes will not work without them. They are for adjusting your brakes.

I have the ones that adjust the shoe to fit the drum properly. Yes, the ones I need keep the rear shoes from retracting too far.

In that diagram, the part I need isn't listed. It's on the backing plate blacked out.

For emergency brake stuff, I do need one 2103, one 2104, two 2105, four 2106, two 2107, one 2108, and one 2109. Is there a kit made to do this?

You need the ones on the bottom AND the ones about midway up on the backing plate.
