Hi
I will need to change the rear brake shoes on my 72 Q code mach1 ..Is anybody know about the shoe size ...10"/2'' is right?
(351 CJ power disc /front)
I still can have a look on the car but it's cool to get a confirmation
another question ..riveted are better ? or bonded..
thanks!!

I can't confirm the size offhand, but I've never heard of a bonded shoe coming loose, but I have heard of riveted shoes cracking around the rivets. Probably either should be fine.

Any normal auto parts store in the US should be able to supply these parts to you ( O'Reilly's, NAPA, Autozone, Rock Auto, Auto Parts Warehouse etc.). If you are not in the US, let me know where you are and I will try to find you a source.
