Default Re: Woven vs molded linings for cast iron drums

Update: I picked up some woven linings from a Model A club friend for my back brakes. I got everything done, but my driver's side drum was too tight, so I couldn't take my car to the show the next day. I disassembled the brakes and sanded the linings some. I also adjusted the brake rod and added an extra axle shim as I could see that the linings were rubbing agains the new drums. That seemed to do the trick and on the short test drive, I have lots of brake pedal and good stopping. I will drive it some more tomorrow and I should be good to go for the parade on July 4.
