Going over my '46 CJ2A brakes for the first time and wondering if I should replace the shoes. Brake Pad thickness is ~ 15/100" (3.8mm) What is thickness of new brake pad? (I haven't been able to find it in manual or on-line) And is there a recommended minimum thickness. Brake pedal free-range is normal (just over 1/2") Pedal travel to get the Jeep to stop is pretty far down, even after adjusting eccentrics and anchor pins. I will be replacing some of the adjusting hardware and wondering if I should get brake shoes while I'm at it. |

Drum brakes don’t have pads. They have shoes with lining. You might have had better luck looking for lining thickness.
If I remember right, 2/32” of lining for bonded shoes or 2/32” above the rivet heads for riveted lining was minimum to pass the Colorado State safety inspection. BW
