1971 M38A1 brake shoes

Post by Bearbait »

Hi guys been lurking, and reading everyone else's posts for a while. I can't thank you all enough for all the tips and heads ups that have saved me a lot of grief with my resto so far.

Now for the reason I'm posting, does anyone know the size of brake shoes for my 1971 M38A1? I ordered a set of linings off eBay and got 9" linings (to small). Are they the same as a 71 cj5?
I know a71 m38a1 is unusual but I'm hoping someone out there knows the answer, or can I just go by the I.D of the drum?

Thanks
Bearbait

The late 60/early 70 CJ5 used a 10" brake. The newer ones went to 11". Just measure the ID of your brake drum and go with that size. Or use the numbers in your M38A1CDN Parts manual.

all...Alex passed away on Sept. 29 of 2013...he will surely be missed in many ways...to us with CDN military vehicles, he was known as the manual man, as he could come up with CDN military manuals that most of us would have difficulty obtaining without his assistance....Wilf
