important Does anyone make brake shoes ?

[Ian L]

Is there a company out there that will make a set of brake shoes ?

They are all missing from my 1944 Standard UV Tilly & the Standard Flying 12 which is what the UV Tilly is based on has much smaller shoes.

I do have a set for a pattern in the other Tilly but I don't want to start cannibalising it.

You could ask these; they certainly used to reline brake shoes.

These people in Cardiff say that they will make one-off or small batch shoes :-

I've never used them so it's not a personal recommendation.

I’ve used Villiers Services on a number of occasions http://villiersservices.co.uk/index.php?main_page=page&id=9&chapter=4

 

I’ve also used Saftek, but more expensive. http://www.saftek.co.uk/contactus.html

This may be wasting your time but I regularly see a company trading as Chelsea Frictions at the Beaulieu autojumble . They do advertise in some of the magazines but I can't lay my hand on one to find a contact number for them at the moment . They have stocks of shoes for all sorts of stuff going back into the mists of time , it's possible they might be able to help you
