If anyone is interested in the contact for the company I've referenced it is below; They can do the lining (ship your parts to them) for you or (in my case did my work and also supplied extra material for future work) Lincoln Clutch and Brake 211 S 20th St, Lincoln, NE 68510 Phone 402 475 1439 ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- I agree with Kris. I had to replace linings on our '28 HD and used woven linings. Modern linings are made for heavier more heat resistant drums. The old bikes use a softer lining so they don't eat up drums. I went to these guys in NJ even though I'm in CA. Good turnaround time, seemed to be good pricing and very good overall service. https://industrialbrakeclutch.com/ ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Nik, not sure where you are from but I can help you with what I have used on MANY different bikes from the teens and later. This material is a woven product with fine brass "hair". It works very well as it is soft and grabs well on both band and brake shoe applications. Recently I used it on a 1920 Henderson and also a 1940 Indian 4. The only downside is it doesn't last as long as hard newer material but who cares. I'd much rather have a brake that works for thousands of miles. A shop in Lincoln NE is where they can fix you up. ----- ORIGINAL MESSAGE FOLLOWS ----- Hi all, I'm relining the rear brake on my '19 Henderson. Found several different grades available in Mcmaster- Carr. I'm not sure which would be the be the best choice. Any recommendations would be appreciated (even outside Mcmaster, I'm not associated with them). Thanks! Nik |
