Brake System Repair & Hardware
The Finishing Touches: NOS Brake Hardware & Repair Kits
A complete brake job is about more than just shoes and cylinders. The small hardware—return springs, hold-down clips, and self-adjusters—is what keeps the system quiet and functional. Reusing trusted, heat-fatigued springs is a recipe for dragging brakes.
The NOS Difference We stock authentic NOS (New Old Stock) and NORS hardware kits from legendary brake manufacturers like Wagner, Bendix, and EIS.
-
Better Tension: NOS American-made springs maintain their tension longer than cheap modern wire springs.
-
Correct Fitment: Our NOS self-adjuster kits (star wheels and cables) are machined to factory tolerances, ensuring your drum brakes actually adjust themselves as designed.
-
Pedal Pads: Don't let your foot slip. We carry NOS and correct reproduction brake pedal pads with the proper logo and grip pattern.

This category contains the "hard-to-find" brake components that often get lost or damaged during decades of driving.
