I've been serching around for rear drum brake parts for the 75 D44 I've got under my Jeep. I've managed to get everything I need so far either locally or from eBay. I'm only missing 1 item now that I cant seem to get anywhere. WHEEL CYLINDER LINKS!!! Help! I can't find these anywhere... The pins that the wheel cylinder pushes out to push out the shoes. No one seems to have these, I can get the cylinders and the cylinder repair kits, but no pins. So my question is where to get them, or what parts interchange with this axle. I've heard Ford parts are similar, they are 11" drums btw.

Go here: http://www.binderbulletin.org

Go to the link section, and look up Light Line of LA

They will have the parts you are looking for.

Yep, early Ford used almost the same exact set up for the 1.75" wide brakes. The only difference is the center hole on the drums. BTW, I might have a couple of those pins in my backyard. I'll check later today.

I couldn't find anything about "light line of LA", did I miss something? Thanks for the help so far. There isn't that many Scout BBS's that I know about but this one is the best....

Hey Cocco...I just looked and I must have threw my old brakes away during the last clean-up. Sorry to get your hopes up. However, Ford used the narrow brakes up to 67 I think. Try looking for those.
