Back in the 60’s I bought a pair of accessory lined brake shoes to replace the cast iron ford ones. I recently purchased a pair of brake shoes like the ones I bought in the 60’s. Where do I fine brake lining for them? They are 1” wide and held on with split rivets.
Thank you in advance for the information. Craig

I usually have good results with the products at McMaster-Carr. Here's two offerings in 1" wide brake lining:

These are ones for people who bought non-original style brake shoes - doesn't say much

Used the modern lining sold for the 26-27 big rear brake drum. The lining is woven with brass so take care in handling. It's also too wide, but riveted it on one edge and then to the bench grinder removed the overhang. Use care with gloves and good face mask and shield to prevent inhaling dust.
Used hollow brass rivets instead of the supplied split rivets. Countersunk the head and figured the more solid hollow rivets gave best security.
