FYI brake safety issue
Hi All,
Read this on another forum so I thought I would post it here just for your information. Just something to think about, I have not heard of anything like this in the Model A world. I have faith that Randy knows his job and am not worried. http://57fordsforever.com/smf/index.php?topic=8352.0 Mike

Re: FYI brake safety issue
Well, we'll see how well the bonded shoes I just put on the front of my car do. Haven't heard anything bad about the Model A ones yet but who knows.

Re: FYI brake safety issue
What was said about car not being driven and rust getting under the shoes is interesting. Never had a problem with Randy's but we need to DRIVE our cars. Not good to let them sit.

That said, I use woven linings riveted to the shoes for the better braking the softer lining gives, not for this. Ba humbug!

Re: FYI brake safety issue
Correctly professionally glued brake pads will not come off the brake shoe! Regardless of whether it is a long standstill with moisture or downhill to smoke. Never!
However, I have already once seen detachment during installation, since a hobbyist had tried it in the kitchen oven at home. Here you can buy all friction linings glued or riveted as you wish. Soft or hard - everything is available.

Re: FYI brake safety issue
Synchro, do you use steel or iron drums? Not to pull this too far off topic but I've heard that the iron has more "bite" to it than the steel drums so woven vs molded becomes more of a wash.

Most of the linings I removed in that workshop were from all sorts of makes or cars other than Ford. I suspect the lining job done in that forum was simply a poor job. Bonded linings are VERY rarely like that.

Re: FYI brake safety issue
I rivetted woven linings on my AA shoes.
