2long Posted May 23, 2018 Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Does anyone know if 9 inch Girling brake shoes can be used with my TR2 Lockheed system (also 9 inch at the rear)? Cheers Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 No the metal bit is not suitable without serious filing. The friction material is the correct size though. Unrivet and reattach? Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted May 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Thanks Peter! I was offered a free pair of Girling shoes (although shipping to Hawaii was the catch), so I wanted to make sure they would fit. Apparently not! Thanks Dan P.S. Does lava welding actually work?

RogerH Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Hi Dan, regarding your Lava welding there was a video clip, on the news, of lava shooting skywards from somebodies garden - unbelievable sight. Stay safe. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Dan, I guess you may have looked in Yellow Pages of Hawaii https://www.yellowpages.com/honolulu-hi/brake-shoe-relining Peter W Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2long Posted May 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 (edited) Thanks Peter - I think Ill pass on the Girling shoes - after shipping and relining I will be over the cost of a new set. Have been quite distracted over here with all the volcanic activity. Roger, this video interview was pretty interesting as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=809Cuv4TjnQ#action=share Cheers Dan Edited May 25, 2018 by 2long Quote Link to post Share on other sites
