I use 16 gauge for everything. Easier to get. Easier to weld. No one can tell the difference once it is in place. |

I've used plenty of original shoes, and new ones; there is no difference, except that you won't get lung cancer from the new ones.
I would forget your search and focus on other things. Reading your ... |

The hood has to be manually secured to the windshield with a strap. Which no one ever did.

I need the outer hand brake shoe for an M38A1; the one with two ears on it. Lining is not important.
I need it because a friend (ex friend) broke one of the ears off with a hammer. I don't need to ... |
