[Shop-talk] 1965 Mustang Brakes

[Bob Spidell]

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
