DFC 60-83 American Motors Hornet Front/Rear Premium Service Shoes

If you're working on the brakes for a classic American Motors vehicle, these DFC Premium Service Brake Shoes are a solid option. They're built to fit a range of models, including the American Motors Hornet, Gremlin, and Jeep DJ5, providing reliable stopping power for your restoration or repair project. These shoes are designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications, ensuring they perform as expected when you need them most.

DFC starts with new carbon steel for the shoe base, then dips it in high-temperature anti-rust paint to ward off corrosion, which is especially important for vehicles that might sit for a while. They also treat the lining and shoe to ensure a strong bond between the friction material and the steel, so you don't have to worry about separation down the road. Each shoe is precision arc ground, meaning it's shaped just right to match the curve of the brake drum for a perfect fit right out of the box, which helps with a smoother break-in and consistent performance.

These brake shoes use a semi-metallic friction material, offering a good balance of stopping performance and durability. They are bonded or riveted according to OE specifications, so you can be confident in their reliability. This set is designed for both front and rear applications on many vehicles, simplifying your parts order.
