What This Product Does

The shoes provide the friction surfaces that contact the brake drum when the mechanism applies them. These are drum-brake components for the listed classic models, rather than a separate internal-drum arrangement within a rear brake disc.

Functions

• Provide frictional contact with the brake drum.
• Replace worn shoes during drum-brake servicing or restoration.
• Support handbrake operation where fitted in the rear drum assembly.

Symptoms of Fault

Reasons to inspect the shoes include excessive handbrake travel, reduced parking-brake hold, noise as the car moves away, uneven lining wear or friction material separating from its support. These signs do not establish that the shoes alone are responsible; adjustment and associated components also need checking.

Why Replacement Matters

Renewal addresses shoes whose friction surfaces have deteriorated through wear, contamination or damage. Inspect the drums, cables, adjusters and retaining hardware during the same repair so that worn supporting components are not overlooked. OE Match develops replacement components around Porsche applications, with attention to specification and fitment.
