I have been looking and calling but have not found a supplier and the moulded shoes just don't stop well. Any help appreciated. Art
Hey Art,
I'm in the San fern Vly. I have a 'set' of new woven brake pads with brass impregnated. Don't know if you can use , but maybe PM me.
Second thing. I'm curious about what type of hydraulic brakes that you have on two of your Model As. In other words, are they Wagner/Lockheed type or say Lincoln Bendix or what ? This information and WHY you are not happy with what you have, might be helpful, as I'm in the process of making the change.
