[A/S] Need brake shoes



Hi! All,
   I pulled the brake drums off one side of my new 1995 Excella 
Airstrem today and found shoes only a 1/16 of an inch thick. I have 
replaced brake shoes over the years, so I am going to do the job. I 
can remmeber adjusting the new shoes on my first car, a 1937 Ford 
cope with mechanical brakes. Use the bent screw driver just as the 
manual describes. 

  I am hoping some one can tell me the make of these brakes, the shoe 
cost per set and where I can by them. There 12" dia. x 2" wide. the 
dums look good so far.

  Also, what are you using after washing the rubber around the 
windows and doors to treat the rubber. Manual says "Slipicone" but I 
have yet to find in a store. Found the maker, Dow Corning in New 
Zealand, yet to responed to my inquire.

Thanks for the help.
