Hi Fern,
I just read the 300 Club postings. Matt Allyn is right that you need to reline the shoes. I was originally thinking that they were in the rear brakes. Now I know that a 300H is the same as my 300C. I replaced ours about 40 years ago when they were available at part houses. They may still be obtainable from NAPA at their central supply centers.

If you can pull the Emergency Brake Shoes out of the transmission drum, any REAL OLD FASHIONED brake shop can reline them and if you bring the drum they can fit them to the drum. I use a brake shop, here in Long Beach, CA that has the material and the machinery to do it all. Let me know if you need their information or if you need to ship me parts and i will go to them for the job. They have done brake work for me for everything from my '32 Ford (now with '40 Lincoln brakes) to my '49 Harley to our '49 Mercury to our '57 Lincoln to our '62 300 & '62 New Yorker to our '64 International.
Full service performance brake shop.

I inadverdently forgot the emergency brake on the 300H on friday and drove several miles before noticing that it was on so it looks like I will have to get new pads to rebuild it.
Unfortunately that stuff is not available from local auto parts store out here in BC.
What is the best source to get those in the USA?
