where do I get replacement drum brake friction pads?

[streetpirate]

maybe my google-fu is off today, but I cant find anywhere retailing drum brake replacement pads. I'm reasonably sure it's a mid-60s shimano.

I've wondered that myself. I'd try a motorcycle shop that also sells mopeds. I stole both my drum brakes off of old mopeds. Gary

Im taking a long shot here...

Didja try Hemmings Motor News?

There are vendors that re-line automotive brake shoes...they "should" be able to do bike shoes too.(I would guess)

I was thinking the bike drum brake was weird because the friction material was two pads stuck to the inside of the drum, not on the shoes. They just came off the shoes and corrosion-glued themselves into the drum.

style looks like this

The asbestos became (un-glued) from the shoes.

Clean/De-Grease Everything with automotive brake cleaner.

Use JB Weld and put those pads back on the shoes.

You could measure what you've got and see if you can find something that'll work. Here is a selection of moped brake pads to look through http://www.treatland.tv/SearchResults.asp?Search=brake+shoe
