Please help I own a 1107 sedan and sent the front brake shoes to be re-lined via UPS. The shoes were lost in shipment. Now I have a 5500 lb boat anchor in my shop.looking for a replacement set of front shoes. Or recommendations on a source for the shoes. Thanks in advanceo

MM has them.https://packardparts.com/catalogs/

Part # 272S

They may have them but online catalogs are basically useless because in most instances they are not updated once created along with the Web site which was probably many years ago. It would take a full time programmer to do that which I know they do not have. Best way is to call or email. I'm not sure how far back Gerry's stuff goes but I know he has some old parts too. Gerry is Packards Southwest.

Thank you both, I did call Max Merritt today and none are available. I also received confirmation and insurance payout for my lost shipment. Going to do a full court press to find replacements tomorrow.

As you shop around for replacement shoes, don't forget that front left and right are different - front left shoes are narrower, by 5/8" IIRC. Best of luck in your hunt!

G'day Trainsplanesandautos,

I invite you to include your '34 Twelve in PackardInfo's Packard Vehicle Registry.


And, I wish you well in finding the brake shoes you need.
