D-15 Brakes Resto
Getting carried away here: anchor pin, star wheel assembly and emerg brake hardware are all cleaned up and shiny. Question is should I leave bare or paint? Can't tell if they were originally black or not; just looked lightly rusted. Was also thinking of painting the backing plate black. Would this be ok with chassis paint (Eastwood) or would it get too hot by the brakes?
Also, can anyone help with source for the brake shoes (part # or where to get)? What about the springs and the retaining springs and keepers?
Maybe it's overkill, as I'm probably the only one who will ever see this stuff?! But I will need the shoes anyway. Thanks for any help!
