New Old Reproduction Stock eBay finds, can't comment on the linings from the vendors.īy Erich Bruckner, Vancouver, WA on Friday, J01:14 pm: The bands were on the thick side at 5mm (a tad over 3/16") and may turn out to be hard to fit. I just riveted the bands for the emergency brake on my improved roadster with aluminum pop rivets (4mm) that fit my pre drilled bands just right. And best of all it works well.īy Roger Karlsson, southern Sweden on Friday, J10:38 am: This is a farmboy method but its simple and very effective. Use a wood block or some stable surface to use as a bucking bar to hammer against. Spread the rivet with with a screwdriver and use the ball pein hammer to finish spreading the rivet and seating in the band. I always just used a small ball pein hammer and a screwdriver. I also have the small, hold in the vise version and it works fine. This is one of the best for a floor model but somewhat scarce. If it's anything like relining transmission bands, at first it appears to be a formidable task, but once you start doing it, you realize that it's actually pretty simple.īy Steve Tomaso - Milton,WA on Thursday, J11:00 pm: It's inexpensive and looks to be pretty strait-forward to use. If I had to do brake linings, I would use this tool, also available from Snyders. However, I've found that when doing transmission bands, a flat-blade screwdriver or a regular punch works just as well, as long as you can embed the tines in the band material, and in some cases, they even work better than the tool. I've never done brake linings, so my input will probably be of limited use to you. In the past, I've used this tool sold by Snyders for transmission bands. If you were going to buy one, what would you say is the best type and why? I have a redo coming up on the brake lining for my 26.Īre most folks happy with the linings sold by the common suppliers for 26 brakes?īy Cameron Whitaker on Thursday, J08:32 pm: What is the best rivet set tool for brake/band lining?īy Erich Bruckner, Vancouver, WA on Thursday, J08:02 pm: Model T Ford Forum: What is the best rivet set tool for brake/band lining?
