[Shop-talk] 1965 Mustang Brakes

Our 1965 Mustang conv. (289/2bbl) with 4-wheel drums and power assist has 
crummy braking. We've narrowed the problem down to (probably) hard, 
semi-metallic brake shoes. OEM liner material works better, but it's hard to 
find anything that isn't some sort of kevlar/carbon, etc. material, which we're 
leery of and is mostly for racing. 

Any old Mustang gurus--or young Mustang gurus that know old Mustangs--know of a 
good brand or material that gives good stopping on a street-driven car? 

TIA, 
Bob
