The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Woven vs molded linings for cast iron drums

There have been discussions on this topic earlier, but they are a bit dated. The consensus was that molded linings were better for cast iron drums than the woven linings. Of the major parts vendors, only one appears to carry molded linings, so it had me wondering what the current thinking on this topic is?

Fwiw, I am putting cast iron drums on the roadster in my avatar. The TS in the back already has them.
