I re-called Firm Feel, today and confirmed that
their (unknown) brake-liner/subcontractor
is able to apply the "carbon-metallic" brake linings onto the 'bonded'
Lockheed Centerplane brake shoes, but it needs to receive "your" shoes,
as the "lining-company"
doesn't have any "cores" in stock.
Turn-around time is less than one week, so that your car's down-time
should be less than 2 weeks, total--a good winter project, eh?
"Firm Feel" wasn't "100%" on the cost to re-line
2 wheelsets (4 shoes), but said that the cost should be $85.00 -
$100.00.
For their in-stock pre-made 11x3" Bendix Duo-Servo carbon-metallic brake
shoes, I was told that the price for 4-shoes would be $115.00, and NOT
the $300-ish, that I was originally quoted.
I still intend to buy 11x3" front shoes, for Horace.
Firm Feel can be reached @ 1-800-347-6426,
or www.firmfeel.com.
