The linings were left in the oven for about 10 minutes and then hastily transferred onto the shoe whilst they were still hot – and pressed down at the centre of the shoe with the lump hammer, which was just being used as a pressing tool – not as a hammer! They pressed down fairly easily into position with that pressure on them and were then were quickly clamped down before they cooled off.
Now both the shoes and linings have to be drilled for final fitting. Not rivets in this case but four 3/8” Bronze bolts in each one, nutted on the outside – as per the originals.
