Front End Upgrade
#11

Thank you for all the feedback and suggestions. I was unable to locate shoes or linings. Meritor wasn't able to provide a source for the linings as well as many others. Ended up sending the shoes to Florida (I live in AZ)  and had them relined. The individual who relined them said he had a difficult time sourcing the linings for the 15.5" drums. He got the linings from multiple vendors with no exact matches. He had to narrow some of the linings to 7" from 8" as well as redrill some of the shoes to accept the rivet patterns of the new linings. This has been a challenge to say the least. If I need brakes in the future, it will definetly be a front end upgrade as you all know will not be cheap.
