Brake Shoes

[Chris KC]

20 years ago - but when building a special to race - I was recommended a supplier of linings to the vintage motorbike racers with a lining with a very high wear rate but "superior performance".  Not sure if that was stopping power or ability to cope with higher temperatures without fading.  

Are there choices out there for Austin 7 linings?

I can't answer for available options but would comment that such things are always a trade-off; "superior performance" in one area usually means inferior performance in another (noise, wear rate, grab, judder, stability, or at the very least cost). Racing linings are designed for racing and unlikely to be best choice for the road.
