1943 Chevrolet Cab 13 C60s Wrecker

[Phil Waterman]

Hi

The band itself is easy to make what you need to find is the ends and the hardware for the cam action. Another CMP brake assembly would be best place to start, but almost any Chevy drive line brake would probably yield the hardware you will need.

The brake bands on both winch and drive shaft had sever rust so I drilled out all the rivets got some flat stock the right width and thickness and just formed up new bands.

Will look and see if I have any photos of the process.

Cheers Phil

Thanks Phil,
The more photos the better, and details of how you built one will be very useful
