FJ45 Brakes Shoes

Anyone out there in the United States with a newer Australian FJ/HJ or Troopy ever find brake shoes for your rig. I have a 1982 FJ45 with drums all around and am in need to replace the shoes front and rear. Can't seem to get a fix on a set. Anyway if you have some good info maybe a cross ref or ?
Thanks

Australian or Austrian?

You're talking about the "wide" shoes?

I bought some from CDan about 3 years ago. I can dig up the part number if you need (apparently I don't have it on the computer here).

Shoes

Yes they are the large ones in the front and smaller ones in the back. I think they are 3" wide in the front.
If you can find the part number that would be the ticket. PM me if you wish.
Thanks

Yep, 3" sounds right.

It'll take me a few weeks to get the part number, hopefully I remember next time I'm in the shop...

No problem, I am in the middle of the rebuild so I have plenty to do until I hear from you. Thanks much

I think I have a set on the shelf...if I didn't gift them to the guy that bought my HJ45. Call me at the shop if you don't have any luck finding them elsewhere.

Brake Shoes

I will give a call today and the pictures are of the shoes in question.
I do have a part number from Canada Toyota, but can not confirm size.

These are available here in the good old USA from your local Toyota dealer. List price is $97 for a set of four, the hub in Ontario ( Socal ) has a couple of sets on the shelf.

Shoes from Hell

Yes I know I contacted the local dealer and they told me that a set was in L.A. warehouse but when they called to order they were told they were not in stock.
Back to square one. The lowest on the relining was $150, I have never bought shoes for my feet for that much. You have a posting on the front end swap?

Thanks

You can see the old brakes under the 45.

Just got a set about 2 weeks ago from SOR for an 81 FJ45. Not necessarily the cheapest source, but they have them on the shelf.

Shoe

Yeah they are costly at SOR, I think I will but my kids some shoes for now since it is snowing out. Hard to walk to school in flip-flops.
Relining is about the same. Not sure why they are so high in cost, you can go down to Checker and get shoes that are almost the same size for a pick-up truck for $30??

Thanks

I bet airplane shoes cost more!


Call "bay area friction" in San jose CA and see what they'll charge to feline the shoes for ya.
