possibly changing from woven brake linning

[farmertom]

hey barners, I have woven brake linings on my 37 fordor that were done not to long befor i got the car. I assume it was done that to keep original. i have adjusted all 4 corners a few times,and think i have got them about as goo as it gets. did ford use woven because thats all there was in 1937 or was because to make the drums last longer. i was wondering if the bonded brake shoes wil fit in my orig backing plates? im sure the bonded linnings will wear the drums but stop a whole lot better is this correct? tom
