FERRARI HANDBRAKE SHOE SUBSTITUTION

If you look at my first link showing the early SHU732 348 version (25mm) you'll see that I got 4 shoes in the box.

Yours (SHU733) are the 30mm late 348/355 version so quite sure the will be packed the same.

TBH Apart from Ferrari Ive never come across individually sold shoes before - cant think of any reason why someone would replace 1 shoe on one side????!!!!!

 

Heres an ebay advert for the kit....

A complete axle set of premium quality OE spec Rear Brake Shoes,

180.0mm diameter, 30mm width, handbrake shoes


Handbrake Shoes for Ferrari 355 9/94 4/99 - SHU733 | eBay

 

Thanks so much for this. My e-brake doesn't hold *at all*. I've adjusted the cable and tried to adjust through the rotor but am pretty sure it's going to need new shoes. Planning on it this winter. Your walkthrough made it easy to see exactly how the mechanism works and how it needs to be disassembled/assembled.

 

Volvo shoes are the closest I could find, but still not quite right. Still searchng.

 

Agreed but Ricambi lists them individually so that's why I was inclined to think it was for just 1 shoe.

 

Agreed, its very confusing. I think sometimes things are priced individually so they dont look so expensive when compared to aftermarket! LOL

BTW Its been a year since I did the job and the handbrake is still working perfectly and holds the car even on an incline without having to pull the lever up very far - bit like a normal car!

 

Apec has confirmed via eBay messaging that the price is indeed for 4 shoes so price comes out to about 100$ including shipping for all 4.

I will order them and make sure they're 100% compatible before I post the part on the interchangeable thread.

 

Thanks Jeff for the ebay link.

I ordered some as spares as they were so cheap (£31.82), arrived today, set of 4 and they look fine.

Excellent and thanks for posting pic! Only thing to check but I'm sure they are correct is that they are 30mm wide (for the 355 and later 348 cars)

 

Just checked and yes 30mm wide.

 

Jobs a goodun then!

BTW Just so people know you should be able to order APEC pads/shoes etc from your local motor factor in the UK if you don't trust ebay etc
