Just looking again at your new relined shoes......

The brake shop in Ottawa insisted that because my vehicle was going to be used only occasionaly ,that for safety, he had to install rivets in the trailing and leading edge of my linings......different rules!!!! Also had my drums tweaked on the lathe to match the arc of the shoes to the drum......

When I had my HUP brakes relined years ago (1986+/-) they use green kevlar. Brakes have not been touched other than to adjust them once a year per the book. They still lock the wheels if you stomp on the brakes.

...my axle shoe linnings are grey..... but now that you mention it my recently done E brake bands for the winch and T case are a funny lime green....and all along I had thougth he had used green linings because he knew they were for an army truck....silly me!!!!

Hi again Bob & Phil
Thanks for your further comments and advice. So far I've obtained the two inner seals, NOS $AUD20 each and the outer bearings, NOS $AUD10 each. And through a quick trade with my good mate Max I obtained the two outer seals, again NOS. I'll re-assess the inner bearings and probably use them if I'm happy with them. Now I can re-assemble the rear axles.

Hi all - I now have the inner bearings thanks to a mate in Queensland who put me onto a company in Queensland. Details are posted in the sub-section of this forum.
