    BuickLeSabre1960 Hot Dogs Anyone?

    I am having zero luck finding front shoes for my LeSabre. So far everyone has the rears but not the front. I checked the old ones but the only numbers I could find on them were 5454193 which I can't find a X-reference to. anyone got a number or an Hollander interchange? Thanks

    yes, I have tried them. They also only list rear shoes. That being said, I am going to call them tomorrow because they list shoes in their brake overhaul kit, I might have to get a complete kit to get them

    Have you got the old front shoes ? If so, get them rebonded with new liners (or riveted).

    Who is a good company to do relining? I had seen the Kanter kit but the problem is I have already completely rebuilt the brakes save the front shoes so I am trying to avoid getting a kit.

    should be the same front and rear on that car, Bendix 197R...I'm not 100% sure on this though

    The front pads on the 1960 Buick are bigger than the rear. CARS in NJ sells the correct front pads.
