Title: Where to get brake shoes relined in Brisbane?
Post by: sa63 on June 21, 2010, 08:19:43 am: I need to get some husky DL Shoes redone with someting more bitey than the current 26 yr old tired and probably oil contaminated pads , that just wear out my arm and dont slow down.. any recomendations? I am sure this has been asked 1000 times before but My search came up with nothing..Brisbane, and north side even better!

If they re are too far worn try All Brake and Clutch at Rocklea for a rebond 3277 2888

bigger grooves i find are better than the teeny ones you get from the hacksaw method.

Grant Black or Gosso will be able to tell you where he is.

Cheers,

BTW my 78 auto's single leading shoe front brake pisses all over my 84 DLS set up. Cant make the DLS work even with brand new shoes - but who needs brakes anyway ...they just slow you down ;D ;D ;D
