Band lining identification
These bands were in with a bunch of spare parts and have no box or brand on them. They are a fairly ridged unlike the cotton or Scandinavian bands I have dealt with. Does anyone know what type of material they are?

Re: Band lining identification
Kevlar? But new Kevlar is yellow. I’d guess used Kevlar if there were rivet holes.

Re: Band lining identification
The weave is far coarser than any kevlar bands I have seen, and loose fibres like they show is also new to me. A flame test might help to identify them, or not.

Could it be brake band material

Re: Band lining identification
Looks like it could be for the 26-27 installation, with the wider brake band. Depending on where and how these bands were stored would contribute to what they look like now.

Re: Band lining identification
Back in the late 60's - early 70's, there was a "fad" of using fork lift/heavy equipment clutch material for T band lining - way too hard in my opinion ! I've driven with them and removed them from folks' cars - pretty tough on drums !
