Re: 33-34 BRAKE LININGS

Can't answer your question, but I wonder how important it really is. When I relined my 34 Eight about 40 years back I used the same molded lining (asbestos of course), both primary and secondary because I couldn't find the OEM materials. Those Bendix 14" mechanicals are superlative when done correctly, I wish I had brakes that good in my other cars. I just checked the linings again this spring at about 35,000 miles and they're good for another 40 years. Don't forget the front left gets narrower linings. If I had to guess, I'd say the higher coefficient of friction goes on the secondary shoe, but that's just a guess.
