The Bendix brake shoes are 2 1/4 inch wide. Each shoe uses 11 7/8 inch long lining, 3/ 16 inch thick. The drums are 11 inch diameter. I am currently redoing my brakes and because my drums are turned slightly oversize I am using 1/4 inch thick lining that I have arc ground to fit the drums.

Brake Shoe Size was created by 1748 S
Can anyone tell me what size brake shoe lining I need for my 1937 Cord Sedan. I have the bendix brakes. I measured a 2 1/4 inch width riveted lining and my drums appear to be 10 15/16 diameter. Thanks for any help.
