Guys,
Hope someone is willing to help me out.

Hit a bit of a snag in the 215's restoration, as all the brake adjuster blocks are locked up with rust.

Out of the first four I have worked on, I have freed 3 using pb blaster and a torch. The fourth however, simply snapped the tabs off.

So, I am in need of a left side anchor block and adjusters, used if anyone has any extras they would be willing to sell me.

It would be a great help to me thanks a lot.

Eric

On the outside, ie not the flat side aginst the backing plate, there should be a l.h or a r.h stamped in with an part number. Thanks so much for your help.

Acually, depending on what you would want for them, and how shipping would be, I would be willing to take several of them, as it would be easier than tourching them, especially with two axles to go. Let me know.
