Re: Wooven or molded?
Whatever it’s worth I do lots of Model A brake jobs and I have moved away from woven lining as the molded lining works better and is more compatible with the cast iron drums.
I was having issues with the woven lining squeaking with the cast irons. One of the lining manufacturers had told me the resin that is used with the woven lining is what is causing the squeaking. I’m well aware of the other issues that can cause that but they weren’t the problem. Switch to molded lining either bonded or riveted and problem solved .
I always arc shoes to fit drums and once all is restored and adjusted and dialed in you can stop on a dime .
Done with woven linings for sure.
