Thanks Greg

found an interesting PDF on line that had quite a bit of information on Midland Steeldraulic brakes. Interestingly, here is what they said about lining:

RELINING BRAKES:?Molded lining used on all brakes.
Lining applied in two pieces with cutaway section
diametricaUy opposite anchor pin.
NOTE?On Studebaker model, different type lining
used on each end of shoe. Factory recommendations
are Manhatten DV-2320 for rigid end of shoe, Raybestos
453-R for flexible end of shoe.

The link to the entire pdf is here:
restorecarsclassifieds.com/wiki/show_pdf.pdf?n=5818

I'd like to get them done locally but want to make sure I'm getting the right stuff put on!
One says bonded , the other says woven and I have some of each
The bonded shoes I have do not have a cutaway section ( see the pdf - it shows about a a 4" gap between the two pieces of bonding) and the images in the Auburn service manual do not show this cutaway either.

I beleive the AACA info is probably correct
most importantly is the precise and proper adjustment

1931 steeldraulic lining material was created by Brad Hoskins
Can anyone help me with what kind of material to use and what thickness??
I have three shoes with two pieces of bonded material forming the circle.
I have one shoe with one piece woven.
I did a search on this forum and the best I could find was one post that referred to woven on the lead part of the shoe and bonded on the rear. that seems a bit odd to me.
Posts on the AACA forum seem to indicate that you should only use woven lining on the the stamped steel drums and save the bonded for cast steel drums.

Does anyone have the definitive answer ( and advice on where to find the lining).

Thanks
