[Fot] Supplier for Brake shoes for TR4

[timmmurphh at gmail.com]

Thanks to all who replied regarding the brake shoes.  I've ordered a set
from Ted Schumacher.  The drums didn't clean up with 0.025 removed from a
side (final size 9.050).  It would take another 0.020 on a side to clean the
drums up making them 9.090 diameter.  I think that is probably too much to
take off but I'm not sure.  We have a set of original drums on a street car
rear axle that we could try and clean up or I can order some new ones.
There seem to be two type of drums available; $27 ones and $58 ones (Moss).
Nothing in the specs as to why the difference.  Any input on drums would be
appreciated.

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.
