    Sorry I hadn't been around much lately. As some of you know we had to relocate. We were blessed, and lucky enough to find a house about 30mi from where we have been living for the past 10yrs and bought it. Between searching, moving and doing work to the house it hasn't left much time for anything else. I'm also old school enough that I hate looking stuff up on my phone and still use a laptop for most things including this forum. We justa got internet turned on here so I should be back more often now. The bad news is there is NO garage, shop, or even a tool shed until we can build one. So, Rosey, the bike and the truck will all be outside this winter. The good news is that I have driven her a few more times including a short 5mi or so trip and she did great.

    Hello,
    I continue to have doubts about my front brakes. They do stop the vehicle but on a hard pedal application, the front of the car develops a substantial vibration. I have taken the drums off and the shoes on the left front have small gouges in the friction material about half the size of a grain of rice. This friction material also produces a lot of dust. The drums were both turned when I put everything back together a year or so ago and there are no burn or scuff marks on the drum friction surface. The infrared temperature gun shows a temperature of typically 250-275 F after an average drive.
    So I called up the tech support guy at the Fort Wayne, IN company that rebuilt the brake booster on this car - "Brake Materials and Parts". He suggests that the friction compound on these shoes is too soft for the usual temperatures that the front brakes on this car develops.
    Last night, I placed a $38.00 order at my local O'Reilly's for a brand new set of 11 x 2.75 inch shoes for the front and they will be here on Tuesday. It does not matter what friction material is on these because my Indiana tech support guy say's send them to him as they are. He will remove whatever friction material is on them and replace it with something a little harder, that makes a little less dust and that can resist a 600 degree F temperature. He will also "arch" and contour these shoes for a more perfect and complete fit against the inside of the drums. I did not remember saving the old shoes when I took this car apart but sure enough, I did. However, the friction material on these is riveted, not bonded. I will need to call the Indiana shop back on Monday and ask if using a riveted style is suitable for his efforts.
    I'm told this new friction material is not ceramic and not carbon fiber and certainly not asbestos. The service price for this is $36 per shoe with an additional one time $30.00 shop fee. Plus shipping. And about a 10-14 day turnaround time to do the work. If the first set of shoes works as well after this treatment as I hope, I will probably send in a second set for future use.
    We shall see how things go when I get them back. If this does not work out, I will probably be in the market for a front disk conversion kit.
    Rick

    Jim,
    Wow, very sorry to hear it. Glad everybody is OK and take good notes for the insurance claim.

    Yup! We’re all safe. Dog had the easiest bit, chilling at our neighbors across the street
    I have several fire extinguishers. Few in the garage and house. Just with some health issues, couldn’t get up in the attic where the air handler was. Luckily, no fire just electrical short so far. Have an AC tech out tomorrow morning. We also have a cool front moving through. Hope no storms.
