It looks like he bent the outer one too

I was surprised that the lock emblem cleaned up. From the fire.

But I went thru chrome on one part. So going to re chrome it.

If you do find cast iron heads..they are different.

You have to use spacers on some studs..

Thanks

This woven lining looks soft. Not sure what will happen once they get heat.

Marston

San Diego area..

Also. 55.56...easy do it yourself..with Arbor press.

And clincher...

But you should have a brake and clutch outfit in la.

My dads 56 would get hot.. Down grades..

Less brake..and use low..

These are better.

Only thing I didn't like is they used the shoe as a guide to cut lining

5/16ths lining.
