Rob, I just riveted on a new set of linings and wish I'd epoxied them. But isn't it difficult to get the epoxy off for the next brake job?

Ed: I don't know because the linings last so long they have not needed relining yet.I should imagine that the old linings will break out and the remains of the epoxy can be scraped out. Perhaps a little heat will help, and a new paint job on the wheel halves always goes down well.

Remember, we operate "owner-maintenance" here in the UK, so you will need the appropriate approvals from your IA (or whatever) to do this. A good comprimise is to epoxy and rivet.
