My brake saga continues. Does anyone know of a source for e-brake shoes or liners for a '71 142E? Volvo has them, but at $39 a piece (not a set), I'm keeping them as my last resort. A local shop that relines shoes says they would have to charge at least $100 to re-line them because of the work involved in cutting regular lining stock back to Volvo e-brake dimensions.

      I will never again buy from them. They still owe me for mixing up my order with Mazda parts, charging me for the Mazda parts, and never refunding me after I've returned the parts. Also no answers to correspondence, and I did provide all the return authorisation numbers and stuff (I'm an electronic engineer at an internation manufacturing company, deal with these type of procedures regularly).

    The Volvo part number for the 140, 160, and 1800 e-brake kit is 3516112 for pre-73, and 3516113 for '73 and '74 models. This is off www.scandcar.com, and the price is 35 Euro and 28 Euro respectively. This will be OEM or very, very close to it. Not suggesting you order it from them due to the probably 15 Euro shipping cost just for the kit (shipping cost is fine on large orders), but this does show that all pre-73 models of the 140, 160, and 1800 use the same kit.

      Thanks, Niel. I tried their website but couldn't find the part.. I'll give it another try. If I can't find anything in the US for a reasonable price, that's where I'll go. I do so enjoy confusing Sjef with my remnants of Dutch.

        Sjef will answer any technical questions you've got. They sell almost exclusively OEM parts, and have access to all the factories. It's always a pleasure deling with them, and once he sent me parts in an emergency before I've paid for it! And that is from Europe to New Zealand (for those that do not know, NZ is South East of Australia).

        Sjef will ask you for the chasis number and supply the correct part, no matter what market your car was manufactured for. There is so far only one part I've had trouble with, and that is a service kit for my brake master cylinder. It was used for only 1 or 2 years, and one of the pistons need to be replaced as one piece. You can't replace the rubber. But other than that, it has all been smooth.

        I found your brake shoe kit in the online catalogue ander brake parts. I think you've got to go on to the second page of brake parts. Although there is a lot on their web site, they stock even more. So if you don;t find what you're looking for, just ask them. Pretty quick to respond.

        Have fun...

          Right, that's been my experience with them when I haven't been able to find a part closer to home. I have sent in my order for the e-brake shoes plus some other stuff. Somehow I overlooked them in their catalog on my first go-around. Thanks for the heads-up.

    I wish i could help you. I am pretty sure i got some new ones when i redid my brakes on my car just last year. Not sure where i got them though... And i can't seem to find them currently... Maybe try your nearest autoparts store? They might be able to get some... Doubtful but worth a try.

    Just looked at IPD and they have them. Supposedly listed as 72-75 but i'm pretty sure they are the same things. Not 100% positive, but I think they are, i don't ever remember anyone saying that the brake discs changed... Maybe the emerg. brake assembly changed, i don't know or think so. Give'm a call. And if that doesn't work, maybe try RPR... Or somewhere. If i think of anything else, i'll let you know.
