Re: Brake Shoes

["Retro Ralph" <retroralph@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think there should be a brake service shop that can reline the old brake
shoes.  That used to be the way people could get new brake shoes back in
40's 50's or before.   Friend of mine would do car brake shoe relines and HD
truck shoes for local trucking company maintenance shop to keep himself busy
between brake jobs.  They were all as good as the new ones.  His shop let
him do hia good buddies brake shoes as long as on his own time plus
materials.  It would tie up the car for a day or so until I got my relined
shoes back, is all.  They even came back with the same black paint the parts
places had on their replacement shoes.  This might be a way out for him.
