Hi,
Has anyone found a modern replacement drum brake for the CCar? I have
not been able to find the rubber parts for the existing brakes except
from NU-KAR at a high price, and they say their supplier has gone out
of business so parts may be unavailable at any price. I looked into a
7" trailer brake, but the mounting bolt pattern was too large.
Thanks!

Tim,
You may have already seen this, but here's a site with some brake
part references:



Hope this helps. I'll be doing some brake work soon myself. Not sure
what I'll find when I open them up...spiders, anyway.

Hi John,
Thanks for the pointer, and yes, that is a valuable page for CCar owners. I
had seen it before and tried calling Jay-Parr Supply (which I think is Jay-
somethingelse now) and was told that they no longer carry the CommutaCar
wheel cylinder parts. I even called Bendix (made the CommutaCar brakes), and
while they were helpful they had no listing of the parts I need. So, I went
with the Nu-Kar parts, and am hoping for the best. I honed the wheel
cylinder bores and still have some pitting, but if the leakage is slow enough
I will just empty the boots once in a while.

I had to laugh at your "rubwheel@..." email address - you're a CCar
driver for sure. Do you have a City Car or a CommutaCar, and what are you
planning to do to your brakes?

Thanks for the help,
Tim
