We are in need of brake shoes for the Champion. Have not been able to find any through other means. Anyone know of a source.

When I need an "odd" part, I have a local, "non-chain store" that I go to. In most non-Stude only parts, they get things to me in a day or two, if they can be had.
Brake shoes, if I ask in the morning, they'll have them later that day. Done brake shoes a coupla times, they've always been able to get them. Same with master and wheel cylinders. 50%/50% with return/adjustment springs.
The "chain" stores (unless you own the place)...forget it, their parts books only go back to 2000...!

You can always get shoes relined; not a bad idea to conserve the old shoes.
If you have a later V8, or convert to the later V8 brakes, make a note: FRONT SHOES FOR THESE ARE NLA! GET YOURS RELINED AND DO NOT EVER DISCARD FRONT SHOES FROM A STUDEBAKER V8!"All attempts to 'rise above the issue' are simply an excuse to avoid it profitably." --Dick Gregory

Could you please supply me with some contact information? I know that I will need more parts. My email is kylee_prather@hotmail.com. Please put Studebacker in subject line so I don't think it is junk. Thanks for the information.
