Grease Baffle

[Joe/Ct]

Started replacing rear brake shoes on our '28 roadster, std and e-brake, and noticed that I do NOT have a grease baffle (at least on the right rear). Is that a problem or did the early '28s not have them?

Yes they had them, cost about $15 for original or $5 for repops

There were two types...Make sure you get the right ones for your car.

There are two lengths of bolt/nut combinations like Steve P says.

Repros and second style use "shouldered" nuts and shorter bolts.

Original style with the "spacers" welded to plate use the LONGER bolts and different nuts from stamped metal plates.


Just order the correct bolts for the plates that you have or buy.

Thanks guys for your responses....great info. Got grease baffles and finished the brake job today...with a little help from my friends.

(Darn, why are the rears sooooo much harder than the front????)
