Hello I'm new to vintage Chevy's & this site. I have a 1931 Chevy 2 door 5 window coupe.
Looking for brake lining material. As I'm trying to keep car original. No hydraulic brakes.
I read an old article about a Mooney's part place in TX; but appears to be closed. I already looked online at the Filing Station.
Thank you & look forward to chatting & learning from some good people with VCCA.

If you have old Chevrolets, other old Chevrolets will find out where you live.

I buy high strength lining strips from McMaster Carr. Then I install them myself on the shoes. Several others have also installed McMaster-Carr lining material. All so far have been satisfied with the stopping power. Cars range from 1927 to 1933.
How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!

What thickness do you use?
Paul
If it isn't broken, fiddle with it anyway so you have something to repair.
1931 Deluxe Sport Roadster
1953 BelAir 4 dr. Sedan
1965 Chevy II Nova SS

I have no idea as to thickness - recently purchased Chevy. But great question.
I'm just assisting mechanic with locating brake linings & a couple other items.
On McMaster Carr they have several. And on Vintage Auto parts I found a set for
Chevy's 1928-1940 $78. But doesn't mention thickness.
Do they need to contain asbestos? As the original? (NOS/NORS). It seems asbestos is not preferred & is it really needed? But then again I'm sure there are other lead/asbestos parts.
