I found the non asbestos flexible 3/16th's x 1 inch brake lining material available from H-E parts international in Richmond B.C. 1 604 247 0035

Would you have a part number by chance?

also available from reddaway manufacturing company, Newark, New Jersey. 1 973 589 1410. however their minimum order is an entire 16ft roll, whereas H-E parts were willing to sell specific lengths. plus it made sense for me to buy some that was already in canada

Those are for the Cleveland mechanical brakes for the F-19. They will not work on the Shin wheels.

I went step by step of Rob Lees' "Care and feeding of Shinn brakes". You can google it and it comes right up. Great article!!! Thanks Rob! I used Araldite as an adhesive (no rivets) and have the full thickness of the linings. I also installed turnbuckles at the bottom of the brake cable and am now able to take all of the slack out of the cable with those and use the wedge adjusters to fine tune. I did my first engine run up last week and ran the engine up to 1500 rpm with just the brake cables holding it and it held fine.

I go to my local car & truck brake shop. They do brake bonding & reline as a matter of course.
Read into that as you will.

Here are a couple sources for lining material. McMaster Carr used to have it, but I couldn't find any on their site now.

What is the base material? And where is it available? is it reasonable to shear to width and cut to length tour own linings?

I believe I got my linings from Univair, but it was in the eighties and I hung on to them for 30 years. They were definatly 3/16" however. I did 1/8" deep counterbores and the rivit heads were about 060 leaving about 1/16" of wear material, which I thought was a bit lean.... a lot of work for 1/16 brake lining.
