From the 311 wiki for parts interchange.

# Early 510 1968-1973 rear brake shoes fit on the roadsters. (All)
# Rear brake shoes from 1970-76 240Z-280Z--Raybestos Part #411.(This one is questionable as some have had problems getting the right shoes.) (All)
# NAPA, brake shoes part # TS-359-A (Tru-Stop Remanufactured) (All)

I took mine and had them relined.

Curtis, where did you have them relined?

Thanks, deVo

Check the rockauto website for the variations on the Datsun 510 brake shoe part numbers. Many brands tend to have "359" in the part number.

As noted in many previous posts on the topic, take pics before you remove the shoes. There is a trailing shoe and a leading shoe and they need to be installed properly. Note the position of the lining of each shoe you remove for reference.
