Brake shoes

[quote="Dig":6ivlfrx9]I have had bonded shoe failure on two different French cars with the rear wheel locking up at about 60 MPH, ruining the tyre and nearly killing me and my passenger.  The other I applied the handbrake for a traffic light hillstart and was unable to drive the car because the rear brake was locked on.[/quote:6ivlfrx9]  Hi Dig,  Your experience was clearly unpleasant but I have also heard of issues with riveted shoes.  Time alone will tell how good, or otherwise, they are.  Cheers,  Tony Posted by TonyO 24/09/2012 11:08:34
