Title: Bonded brake linings Post by: davidwheeler on 13 June, 2014, 04:56:44 PM For quite some time the Aprilia front left brake has been grabbing on light application but pulling straight on hard application. I had looked at it a few months ago and saw nothing obvious but decided to have another look this afternoon. I looked hard, probes with a screwdriver and look what happened! Disgraceful, they were only bonded on about 30 years ago. Fortunately, I have some old-fashioned riveted ones (new only about 40 years ago and unused).

Industrial Brakes Ltd 14-15 Webner Industrial Estate Ettingshall Road Wolverhampton, UK WV2 2LD Tel: 01902 492337 Fax: 01902 404420 Email: sales@industrialbrakes.co.uk Excellent service, pleasant people, reasonable prices. I specify the material to be used and also that the linings are bonded AND riveted. On my 3rd Series B20, linings last less than a full season and on the one occasion I used a supplier near to home due to time pressures mid season, they could only bond the new linings ( I didn't have any rivets) and the linings detached after 2 x 30 min races. Disaster!

I had had to make a new band.
However I have no knowledge of the correct lining material (see Aurelia thread) so I will see where this one takes me. Title: Re: Bonded brake linings Post by: chriswgawne on 11 July, 2014, 08:10:14 PM Tony,
As I said in the Aurelian master cylinder thread, I am away at present but I will give you the code for the brake lining material I use when I return.

I sent them the shoes requesting that they rivetted on linings of the same thickness as the old ones (which were about 5mm). They came back bonded and 1/4" thick which is 6.5mm and will not go in the drum. However, I rang them up and sent them the shoes back and they have rivetted them and ground them down to size free of charge and all within a few days. Moral - be absolutely clear what you want them to do and you will get a rapid and inexpensive service. Excellent service, pleasant people, reasonable prices.
