    The factory number for the "kit" -- all four shoes -- is A9A2001. I'm looking for shoes with riveted linings, either NOS or remanufactured in the USA.

    Here's who I've already tried:

    NOS Parts Ltd. - no stock
    Miller Obsolete Parts - only two shoes in stock
    Joblot - Made in China
    C&G - Made in China
    Midwest Early Ford Parts - Made in China
    Obsolete & Cl***ic Auto Parts - Made in China

    Any and all help will be most appreciated.

    These cost a little more but there is a big advantage over conventional semi-metallic linings with less drum wear and less fade you will get disc brake performance with your drum brakes, the fronts are part#MCB-154 rear are MCB-151 same as Mustangs http://www.musclecarbrakes.com/stage16473mustang.html Also check this out : http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=20141 While you have them off convert them to self adjusting that way you also will have new hardware kits installed.Another alternative is check your yellow pages for clutch & brake rebuilders most can reline your old shoes with Kevlar/ceramic linings.
