Brake Shoe Lining Materials

[Graham Honnor]

Hello Matt

I have sent you a p.m.

Thanks

Graham.

I got the shoes back from Saftek today with the Green Gripper linings. Looks much better than the very hard black material that was on there before. I’ve also had each end of the lining chamfered as recommended by this forum.

My only disappoint is that they have bonded the linings rather than riveting them to the shoe.

I will report back once the brakes are back together and I’ve done a test drive.

Hi Matt
I think you do not need rivets with the Girling shoes. 
The bonding process works 100% with them.
However with alloy shoes you need both bonding and rivets for a 100% job.
I am sure you will like them.
