Randy, your old "metallic" lining could also be asbestos-containing. You might find some specialty brake shop willing to work with asbestos, either legally or not, but I think you should be prepared to remove the old lining yourself and drill/countersink and rivet the new linings yourself as well.

If you find a shop willing to handle the asbestos, I suggest you measure your brake drums and if they have been turned oversize, give either the drums or the measurements to the shop and have the new shoes arc-ground to match.
