where can I get brake shoes for a Cobra

Make sure you get the right shoes for your trailer. When I called Rex
he didn't have the vintage-1987-type so I ordered a set from Cobra.
Get the instructions for adjusting the brakes. Adjusting the brakes
correctly might make you believe you've changed the shoes and cut the
drums.

And, while you're down there...
Everybody should have the newer "beer friendly" plastic fenders (mud
guards) with the flat spot on top. Rex has those complete with black
wheel chocks that take UV exposure better than white ones.

I took my old shoes to a brake shop in Pomona Ca and had them relined it can be done as long as you haven't let them get into the steel and have the drums turned at the same time. Price for 4 shoes & 2 drums turned $40.

LED lights can be bought at any big truck trailer supply such as
Utility or Trailmobile. Tail , brake & turn on my glass top cobra work
and look great, but I had to take a flapper wheel on a die grinder and
enlarge the holes out to 4". Side marker lights I used are (and tails)
Maxima brand didn't even have to drill new screw holes bolted right on
and took 30 min to do all 4.
