Default Re: Can I use new cast brake drums with old shoes?

Henry used woven linings with cast iron drums from late 1931, when he switched from stamped steel to cast iron drums for the Model A, clear up until before the war.

Woven linings work very well with cast iron drums.

Any lining used must be arced to the drums and the shoes centered properly or you will not have the best performing brakes and often will have problems with less than full contact and glazing in the contact areas of the linings.

My experience and my opinion.
