<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"></head><body ><div>I measured the lining material of the front and rear shoes with my calipers. The front shoes as you said are .187 or very close to that. The rear shoes though measure out to be .234. Both sets came from Moss as correct for the BN2. The front set was made in Taiwan and go by the name of Powertune. The rear set are Moss' Classic Gold made in China. The part numbers match the Moss catalog for shoes that fit the front and rear. Anyone else notice this difference?</div><div>Mike MacLea</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><div style="font-size:9px;color:#575757">Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S® 5, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone</div></div><div></div><br><br>-------- Original message --------<br>From: Michael Salter <michaelsalter@gmail.com> <br>Date:02/24/2015 15:54 (GMT-08:00) <br>To: Michael MacLean <rrengineer.mike@att.net> <br>Cc: Healeys <healeys@autox.team.net> <br>Subject: Re: [Healeys] Brake shoe material <br><br><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi Michael,<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Not sure if this will help but...<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">We used to have shoes relined in years gone by and always specified 0.187" thickness for the lining material. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">That measurement originated from a set of NOS rears that we had come across. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">We successfully installed many many sets, both front and rear and sold lots more. <br>To the best of my knowledge we never had any complaints about shoes relined to that thickness.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">Michael S<br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:comic sans ms,sans-serif;font-size:small">BN1 #174<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 25, 2015 at 9:16 AM, Michael MacLean <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rrengineer.mike@att.net" target="_blank">rrengineer.mike@att.net</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:HelveticaNeue,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,Arial,Lucida Grande,sans-serif;font-size:16px"><div>I just received an order from Moss which included front and rear brake shoes because they were on sale and I actually needed them for the restoration.
