Might I add a brake question to this exercise of experience and knowledge? The current project in the workshop has new brake linings, but no paperwork indicating where they came from or what the lining actually is. Brake linings I've bought have always been the soft linings available from one or other of our cherished suppliers, and riveted. There has been much discussion on the forum of the undesirability of hard linings basically intended for other sorts of cars. I attach a photo of a lining, to ask if anyone can recognise what sort of material it is. Unless it is a very good soft lining I suspect the best course of action would just be to remove and replace with a reliable lining.
