Good to learn that Saftek know what they are doing Tim. I had one pair off Martyn Bratby that I had to throw away and buy some riveted shoes off him and another pair with brand new bonded linings that came in a job lot of spares that I couldn't get into the drum, so threw them away also. Ron
Something worth mentioning about new linings is that they are not profiled after bonding. Be it rivets or glue. The lining thickness is chosen from brake lining data books. The company I use has some very old books.
If the linings are over size, a good modern machine shop can circular mill a new profile. Much better than spinning the brake plate in a lathe.
