57 Arnolt Bristol Brake Parts
Ron:
Thank you for the reply.... and yes you assume correctly that I want to keep this as close to original as possible. This unit only has 12,000 original miles but has sat long enough that the brake cylinders have corroded to the point that they will not release. I was able to get the drums off but found that the shoe retaining springs were broken at the hook. The one drum that I would like to replace is probably salvageable.... but if I could find a good replacement I would do that. I have promised the owner that I would do everything to keep it as it was when new. This is a one owner vehicle and it is in good to excellent condition. It has nearly all its original parts and it would be a sin not to keep it that way.
Thank you for the suggestion to look at the Bristol site, I will do that as soon as I finish this email. Thanks again for your reply and great suggestons
