Hi
I am working on a 1953 oval and opened up the rear drums and they were empty. I need to source the parking brake lever, pivot, clip and spreader as well as any springs. Are late ovals compatible? What years overlap? If anybody has any spares let me know. Classifieds search turned up nothing. Thanks on advance.

If you can't find OE stuff, Mika makes a set of repro for split/oval. The anchor pin and C-clip you can get from WW or Cip1
I'm pretty sure you can use all Oval stuff on yours. I'm not 100% though. '58 and up are slightly different but the pin and clip are the same.

Thanks. I ended finding what I needed in original parts from a generous samba member.. Mika's look nice. |
