  3. if you want riveted ones i believe you will have to do that yourself . when i was looking for `40 shoes all i found were bonded. i got the linings from Dennis Carpenter and did them myself with a special rivet tool ...most early Ford parts suppliers sell that too for about $25. then you can reline all the shoes you want and save money

    Wagner, Raybestos & Bendix no longer have listings. Is there anyone who sells these pre-made?

    if you already have old shoes just get them relined. fleetpride does them all the time for me they reline and rivet mine...they are a national company. if they are not local to you, take them to a large truck shop that does dump trucks and ****...they will custom cut and reline and rivet them and they use great material that last FOREVER!!! im going on 5 years with mine, got all my buddys rods done too they love it.

    Joblot Automotive sells new ones, almost certainly bonded.

    Any sources for the linings & the rivets, if we want to do them ourselves?

  14. as already said , Dennis Carpenter....and Mac's has them too

    you save a LOT of money by doing it yourself , plus i believe you end up with a better part. i know bonded shoes are ok ( i guess) , but i have never trusted them. i'm probably out of touch , but i like and use riveted shoes
     
  15. I hate to post a motorcycle question here, but do you think they can do Sportster shoes as well? I don't know if they are riveted or not.

    to be honest im not up to knowledge of motorcycles....but i dont see why they couldn't. ive brought some wild **** to them and aslong as you have a good core to work off of they should be able to do it. they do mine cheap enough where i dont even think about doing them myself. you might can call them in your area...or you can ask your question on the jockey journal.
