    no one is making the exact brake components you seek. If you to go by the "100% concours correct" standard, you have one and only one alternative. You will have to find NOS parts one by one. I don't think anyone is selling a NOS brake kit.

    You have another choice if wanting to stay "100% concours correct". Rebuild/restore your original parts yourself if they are still in good enough shape.

    Since NOS parts are not always like originals (service replacement parts) you will want to stay with originals if possible, Most replacements and many NOS wheel cyl will have the larger bleeders

    what is the size of the brake shoes? several different sizes are in the parts book.

    brake drum measures 10" in diameter.
    shoe width on rears measures 2 1/2".
    is this correct?
    were originals bonded or riveted?
