Wagner Comex woven brake liner friction differences
Here is a photo of some Wagner Comex liners, notice the note about 4 X Low, and 4 X Standard friction. I’m using cast iron drums. Original spoked in front and I haven’t purchased the rears yet.
How were these supposed to be configured? Low in the rear and standard in the front? Since by the 50's, drivers were accustomed to a front biased braking system.....? I have searched the internet for any info and can’t find anything. I’m hoping someone remembers these and where to install them. Also I have some old hollow Rivets. I’m not sure what the proper ones are for the model A application. Does anyone know the proper size for them? I know that typically you want one and a half times the diameter protruding past the material before you swage them….. Not sure with the soft liner and hard shoe if that is still true.

Re: Wagner Comex woven brake liner friction differences
Can't help, but is there a particular reason you're determined to use those linings vs new that's available today??

Re: Wagner Comex woven brake liner friction differences
No, just that I have them and that they are in great shape. I'm not so sure that they are a different material than those used today, just that one set of 4 has more bronz or metal woven into the fiber.......
Thanks for posting though

Re: Wagner Comex woven brake liner friction differences
Craig,
I can see that in a "Duo-Servo" (hydraulic) brake system with a primary and secondary shoe...I believe the linings are of different material, for that set-up. I don't why the Model A would have to have it....I need to think about that. Dudley |

Re: Wagner Comex woven brake liner friction differences
Thanks Tom, I thought that was a possibility also but these liners are a bit newer and thought that maybe they had changed the material because of the "newer" conventional thinking on brakes. lol Ya know the 40's and newer. J I also noticed that the brand is COMAX not COMEX like I had first wrote. I researched and found more but it’s all EBAY stuff, not any reference material I can read...
