    Skybound....I don't know the number.
    Classic Aero has them too. Great people to deal with.

      Howdy: Skybound, 6910-A Buford Highway, Doraville, GA 30340: 770-446-6797; Fax 770-242-6263. I usually fax them a list of what I need and then follow up with a phone call...Shinn brake parts are a sideline and the gal who takes your order gathers the parts for mailing...it usually takes another call to remind her that the shipping package is on her rear car seat and needs to go to the mailbox! She has a parts/price list available and I have received two orders from them. They are very nice to talk to. Doc

        I got this from a supplier, "If it has the shimnn fierstone lining-in-wheel system, we have a box full of those parts. $55 for 2 wheel set."

        Does this sound like the Taylorcaft part?

            Thanks for the pdf file. It was great. I will check my brake cable length and adjustment. The author mentions not using rivets but epoxy. Anybody tried this. My main concern would be replacing them later if epoxied in. Any comments on how to get epoxied linings out after they wear out?
