Very interesting responses. It hadn't occurred to me that 1" shoes could be safely used in a later car.
I'd prefer to change them to 1 1/4" for the simple reason of standardising the "fleet".
The linings on these shoes, though still quite thick, haven't seen any action for the best part of seventy years, thirty of which were spent in a cesspit, so probably a good idea to replace them before the car hits the road. In any case, I have spare 1 1/4" linings on the shelf.
