Didn't get any response when I posted this elsewhere;


Has anybody used this service I found on the internet?

This service can cater for any shape or size brake-shoe. Whether it’s for a bike, car, van, trailer or even tractor. Many modern linings are too hard, so we have a range of materials to suit all applications, including woven non asbestos which does not need to get hot to work .All you need to do is remove the shoes from the back plate, drop them in a jiffy bag or box, write down what they fit, what you are going to use them for. I.e. trials, road, scramble etc.

For any motorcycle shoes we charge £21.95 a pair inclusive of vat and postage is free!

I used them and that service, don't know if it was my measurements or them but I did have to take 0.2mm off the shoes which I did on my lathe. Shoes then fitted well and nearly as good as being arced, they used a lining which looks exactly the same as the RGM rear shoes

and the brake is much better than it was before.

Used Saftek, but not for oversize shoes, though I would suspect it would not be a challenge for them.

I think you should send them the diameter of your brake drum and ask them what they advise.

I used Villiers for front brake shoes on my ES2. I had some from RGM but they were way too hard and never seemed to break in. The Villiers ones are better but were a bit of a tight fit to get in. Had to relieve them a bit.
