[Fot] Supplier for Brake shoes for TR4

[Barry Munson]

Hi Tim - I've been using the competition shoes from Racetorations which are
riveted only at the ends of the shoe and I had one completely disintegrate
the last time out. The lining broke in the center of the shoe where it was
not riveted. My backup set are from Ted Schumacher and those are riveted the
entire length of the shoe. Even though the linings were a different compound
from the pads that I'm using there were absolutely no braking issues during
the event after the switch.

I really like the Porterfield R4 competition compound and that is available
for both the TR4 pad and shoe. The shoe lining is riveted but you have to
supply the core.

Barry.

The left rear brake shoe lining came off the shoe at Blackhawk Farms last
weekend.  I am looking for suppliers for brake shoes with riveted linings as
the one that came off was a "glued" lining.  I'd also like to specify the
lining to use, the Carbotech linings whose pads we use and like on the front
discs.  I'm also open to any suggestions about what to use for the rear
brake shoes.  The above would just be my preference based on the latest
experience.  I see Revington has competition shoes with "Mintex 20" linings
I think for about $120 a set which appear to be rivited.  Anyone with
experience with these brake shoes and linings?

 

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
