Bandbrake Repair - Re-line

#bandbrake

Brake material I have used on the now 4 times with 100% success:

McMaster-Carr (6175K811)
McMaster-Carr 
Metal-Free Brake and Clutch Lining

I believe 1 foot is good, should give an inch or two extra to be cut off.

I used JBWeld with the red label, not the yellow.  It's supposed to be stronger and just basically glued it on while clamping it overnight.  The first one I did was nearly 6 years ago and is still holding like the day I put it on, stops great too!  The other 2 are just the same.  Heck, I did it with the brake shoes on my peerless 2300 and it works great too. 


Sears Suburban

 


Craftsman GT6000/ Craftsman GT18 I did, pretty much the same as well:





As I mentioned, I did some brake shoes with the same stuff with just as good results.

I should try and reline the pads on the 633 in the GT6k with this stuff. If ever I put that trans back together.

Good info.

Thanks

I'm hoping there is a cheaper solution to this, as the material linked above is currently at $52.65 for 15 inches. No longer sold in 12 inch lengths.

I believe you are looking at 15ft rather than 15 inches. Check the description. seeing $3.51/ft here.

Yep you're right if you scroll over to the last picture it gives you full dimensions

Man I'm dumb. Thanks guys!
