I got my '31 brake linings at Laycook, 259 E. Butler Ave. in Memphis, TN. I live near there, so I took my shoes to them, and they installed the new linings. You could ship your shoes to them, or they probably would sell you the lining material. Their phone # is 901-523-1418. They did a good job. My brakes work great!

6wheel's reference sounds like a good deal. Also Gary Wallace has all the linings in his new catalog in the under carriage section. http://www.20schevyparts.com/They also come up for sale from time to time on ebay.

I had my 1930 brakes relined by a shop that did semi truck brakes. I guess they still use rivets and they cut the linings to fit. They did a good job for me.

Brass wire woven through light colored asbestos fiber.Looked exactly the same as the old stuff that was on the car. Will try to put a picture on here when I get home.

big D,
Can you email me a photo of the brake linings? I'll reply back to your email and explain how to post pics on VCCA.
Thanks,
