Re: WM20 Brake shoes

Charlie, I don't know where you are but I'd say that is rather steep pricing for brake shoes. You don't need the 'correct' linings, a proper brake repair shop will select the correct material from sheet stock and bond them on, a much more efficient process than riveting. Here in the UK try Villiers Services in Birmingham. I have had a couple of sets done by them recently and I'm very pleased. And under half the price you quoted!
REgards, Mark

Re: WM20 Brake shoes

Bonding linings to M20 shoes can be problematic. Some M20 shoes have a zinc content and several of us have had distorted shoes from the heat during the bonding process. Better that they are riveted or entrusted to a firm like https://saftek.co.uk/ who understand the problem and have a safe way of bonding them. Ron

Thanks guys,
I thought the price was very high. Not sure why he is asking so much. I do have to ask if he bonds or rivets.
Thanks again

HE is probably using asbestos linings and included the price of safe disposal of your old linings.
a friends son is a demolisher and he told me a while back that a fibro / plaster board house is nearly twice as expensive to demolish as a double brick house because of the asbestos .
The brake shop where I get mine done charges $ 70 ( Aus ) per wheel
