Hello, all:
I converted the rear brakes on my "Knewport" to 3-inch rear brakes. What was needed to go from 2 1/2 inch to 3 inch drums and shoes are support plates that that can mount 3" shoes, hardware and a 3" brake drum. Mine works fine. Three-inch support plates drop back 1/2 inch to accommodate 3" drums on the axles.
Best,
Ron Kurtz

Be very
careful to get the parts for HD brakes as the wider rear
shoes may require different springs and nails. These may
be included under 300, wagon or HD suspension.
Rich in Brentwood with a 300 Ram K car having HD
brakes standard. 3” wide shoes & drums vs. 2 ½”
on most other ’64 Chryslers. Came to me with 2 ½” shoes
in the 3” drums. Worked OK, but t’warn’t right.
Shoe lining material and length on different ‘64’s were
different also, but that’s too much to ask.

Subject: Re: [Chrysler300] Brake shoe
retainer/hold down spring - G Have you checked your local parts
house?This kinda thing is readily
available at any of the 4 parts houses here in
Mena.These springs, pins and cups are
generic, I believe, and fit thousands of
cars.Even if they don't have a kit
listed for your car, check what they have for
fit.I just bought kits for the rear of
my Hurst, and I'm sure the hold downs are the same as
any I have ever installed.The kits may differ due to the
other springs included, which may be different from model to
model, but the shoe hold down is the same.Ray On Sun, Aug 9, 2015 at 11:05

Looking for
the brake shoe retainer spring hardware (nail, 2 cups, coil
spring) for a G. Don't see it listed for this
application on internet searches. Does anyone know of a
source? I imagine this retainer length was used on other
applications and would be willing to get a hardware set for
that other application.
Thanks.
