Austin Ten Drivers Club

Hello,

I own an Austin Ten-Four (Austin 10/4) from 1933 and I need some help finding replacement brake shoes.

My original brake shoes are damaged. The problem is not the brake lining material – the actual alloy/aluminium brake shoe body is broken and unfortunately it cannot be welded due to the type of old alloy material.

I am looking for a complete set of 4 brake shoes.

Details of my original parts:

Vehicle: Austin Ten-Four (Austin 10/4)
Year: 1933
Original brake shoe marking: G4002
Brake shoe width: approximately 1 1/4" (32 mm)
Straight length end to end: approximately 8" (200 mm)
Curved outside length: approximately 8.8" (225 mm)
Brake drum diameter: approximately 8.8" (225 mm)

I have attached photos of:

the original brake shoes
measurements
brake drum

Could anyone please help me identify these brake shoes or know where I can find replacements (new old stock, used, or reproduction)?

Maybe these G4002 brake shoes were also used on other Austin models.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
