Wanted: M38A1 CDN3 Brake Clips

[rob love]

I generally shun using used brake parts from another vehicle when doing brake repairs. It would be akin to buying someone elses underwear. You can wash and bleach them, they will still be someone elses underwear.

With that little analogy, they are available commercially. Try your local auto parts supplier for a Dorman HW1162, Raybestos H1162,or else go to NAPA and order NUP 80214. Price at NAPA is around $1 to $1.50 each, depending on your discount level. If you order them out of the US from rock auto they run around 45¢ each.


There is no magic about the 1970 Cdn3 Jeep brake parts. They are the same brakes used on the commercial Jeep CJ5 and others around that year. This applies to the shoes, the wheel cylinders, etc.
