Follow up on relining the brake shoes for my 100M.
I could not find anyone left in the Pittsburgh area that does an acceptable
job of bonding linings. I did find a company in NJ that does brake relining
for a variety of applications including vintage cars. They recommended a
combination of bonding and riveting but reducing the number of rivets to 6,
using solid brass rivets, and cutting the rivets a little deeper than
original. They also coat the shoes with stainless steel paint to avoid rust
issues. Cost will be between $45 - $55 per shoe plus shipping with a 5-day
turnaround. The company is Reddaway Manufacturing
http://www.redcoproducts.com/. The person that handles their vintage shop
work is Todd Walker, (cell) 732-685-9220.
Also found a company that will do just bonding in Maplewood, NJ .

Price is $ 22.50 per shoe plus shipping, Lead time usually 2 to 3 days,
