/7 Rear Brake Shoe Thickness

Post by VBMWMO »

Anyone have a new one of these around...suitable for a '78 /7? I thought I was getting pretty thin on my rear shoes (at 90K miles), so this weekend I pulled the rear wheel. Turns out I have plenty of thickness left...about 3mm and 1.5mm is the minimum. Does anyone know what the new thickness is? I'd like to be able to judge how many more miles I can go on these. I tend to do mostly highway miles, so that's lots of miles with little braking...

As I side benefit, I did get to regrease my splines... :D

Thanks...
