ROD W Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Took the brake bands down the Brake shop yesterday to get them re-lined. The fellow said "how thick" 1/4" looks too thick and 3/16"looks too thin.Any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dibarlaw Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Rod : I know when I redid the parking brake band on my 1925-25 the only thickness available to me was 1/4". I had to lay out a 1/16" offset and grind down to 3/16" to fit inside the drum. Good thing the new stuff is non asbestos! Although I remember in the early 1970s having to grind the brake shoes to fit the drum. My parts book shows 3/16" thickness for both external and internal.

ROD W Posted April 18, 2014 Author Share Posted April 18, 2014 Thanks Larry, Leif. Looks like 5/32" was the original thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 The differens between 5/32 and 3/16 is only a half mm,if can you use 3/16 you have a liitle bit more place for the rivets.Don`t even think I have seen 5/32 lining for sale on any place?Leif in Sweden.

bigvic Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Rod.Here is a scan from my H-K Parts Book.Leif in Sweden.Hello Leif, noticed your catalog re: the linings and was wondering if it had pics of starter pedal return springs, which is mounted on the flywheel housing. Any would help but mine is for a 28-58. Thanks Vic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
