Re: 1968 or 1969 Font License Plate Bracket

Re: What Material Do You Prefer For Brake Shoes on 1966 Toro

The Raybestos are the only ones labeled organic and they are the most expensive.

Who knows what the other brands are made from.

Re: What Material Do You Prefer For Brake Shoes on 1966 Toro

Does organic mean its asbestos? Do they even use asbestos anymore? I assume that is closest to what the original material would have been. I haven't mic'd the drums yet but in case I need some, do you have any preferences on those? Rock Auto has "non-finned" drums ranging from C-Tec and Ce...
