Bendix 3 shoe brake linings

I am working on the brakes on a Durant D75 and need the riveted linings. It is the Bendix 12 inch diameter, 3 shoe mechanical set-up with linings that measure about 0.190-0.200" in thickness by 1.75" wide. The 2 shoes measure 10" in length and the 3rd shoe measures 13" in length. Does anyone have a source for these moulded type brake linings?

Re: Bendix 3 shoe brake linings

It turns out that I ordered some 3/16 thick material and rivets from McMaster Carr Co. They have a couple of materials and sizes to choose from in their catolog. It was fairly easy to form the material around the shoes to the right length and then drill and counter bore for setting the rivets.
