Dodge1934 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 (edited) I am getting ready to reline the brakes and emergency brakes on my 1919 Mclaughlin The original brake shoe lining material was a woven material. I was wondering the good and bad of going to a more modern brake lining material like used in the video link here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yh_FEQJVW4k I worry about finding the correct width of woven brake lining and I am also worried about it tending to unravel at the ends when you put in the rivets. The other consideration is that the thicnkess of the hubs is not that thick and more modern linings may tear through the original hub material. I will work on getting pictures Your insight will be appreciated Edited March 21, 2020 by Dodge1934 Add pic & typo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kings32 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Use only woven linnings. The early cars will not work right with mordern linings. Trust me I have tryed it on my own cars . I do my own relining . Kings32 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMc Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Modern or moulded linings require far more pressure between the linings and drum than can be achieved with mechanical brakes. Must be the correct woven material. Green Gripper or an equivalent is one most people use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a rivet machine for brakes, just need the parts. I do appreciate your thoughts. Thanks Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stude Light Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Re-posting in the live thread. For my brakes and clutches, I've used the Clutch Doctor 40167 Flink Ave, North Branch, MN 55056 (651) 674-4175 Super helpful, great work and prices are crazy reasonable. He may be able to help you out with lining material if you are set on doing the work yourself. I suggest giving him a call and checking on options.
