Brake shoes

Can anyone tell me the right thickness of new brake linings for my Durant 60. They measure 1 1/2 inches in width.
Thanks

Do You own a car built by Durant? Yes

Re: Brake shoes

Hi Al. I use 3/16ths thickness. Our drums are 11" on the "outside" and thicker lining does not work to good. Try and use a top grade metalic lining or abestos if you can find it. Take care. Lance
