Hello all,
For those of you who replaced their brake lining, how did you attach it?
The one on mine is riveted to the band, I thought about countersinking some rivets to the new one like they did, then I thought about adhesives and did a bit of searching. I read one account of a guy using JB weld and several clamps to hold it until it cures, I read the whole thread and there were no updates on how it held.
I like the idea of adhesive, that way you have more lining instead of eventually wearing a groove in the pulley when you get to the river heads. I'm not sure if there would be a better adhesive to use... I've dealt with 3M 5200 in the past and I know the only way to remove it is with a grinder, but I'm not sure how it would adhere to the lining of the band... perhaps an email to 3M could shed some light.
Opinions?
Thanks,
