NickAbbott Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Does anyone have the dimensions of the brake linings fitted to Matadors (front and rear), as I have been offered some new linings that might fit, but I'm not currently in a position to remove the wheels and drums and measure the sizes - so if anyone knows the dimensions, it would be much appreciated.

antarmike Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 Brake lining are very thick, they should be 3/4" 19.05mm thick. Rear linings are exactly twice as wide as the fronts. There are different linings for front and back, but the back can be relined with two front linings, riveted side by side. In fact some illustrations in the Maintenance manual show this done. Width front shoes 3" Dia front shoes 15 1/2" (17" over linings) Rear same diameters but width is 6" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
