Brake shoes

Anyone know of a good vendor for 49' F2 11" brake shoes. Some of these guys have a $50 core charge.

Did you mean f2 or f1? F1 would be 11 inch and f2 12 inch. I've got f1 cores if you want to pay shipping they are yours. I'm pretty sure you can get the bendix style shoes at carquest for the 12 inch not sure about the early lockheed style.

brakes

F2 with 12 inch brakes. Alot of part houses list the shoes but when they come in they are either a newer style or 11 inch.

Can't you just get them relined? Do they do that anymore? I remember when you could drill out the rivets and rivet new linings on them yourself.

Have you tried searching for 12 x 2.5 or 12 x 3 Ford brake shoes to see if they would fit?

Re-lining

THere was a place close to me that did re-lining but it closed a few years ago thanks to the junk coming in from China. I found some people that claim to have them but when I see the shoe in person, they are wrong.
p.s. They are skinny, I measured 1 13/16 wide, not 2"
