Re-lining parking bake with Pliobond?

mercredi 14 décembre 2016

So, I am working on a toy that I bought this past summer, a Pettibone Extendo 88 High Lift:

I am working on it this winter to get it ready for use next spring/summer. I am currently working on the parking brake. The machine has hydraulic brakes at the wheels, which don't work atm, as well as a hand lever operated parking brake at the rear of the transmission:

The brake band was seriously wiped out, so I priced a new one. ~$187.00 for a new band. I thought that was absurd, so I put the band on my outdoor grille and heated the crap out of it, got the old brake lining material off. I was able to buy some new lining material: http://ift.tt/2hxuXJI

At the moment I am shaping the new lining by clamping it between the band and the drum:

When googling about how to re-line bands/shoes, Pliobond adhesive kept popping up, and seemed like the best solution for the adhesive. I bought some Pliobond 25 & 35:

Has anyone here ever re-lined old shoes? I'm going with adhesive because that's how the original was assembled, and this is only a parking brake, so not applied when driving.

I've read all the documentation on the Pliobond, and I must say it's a bit confusing. There are wet bonds, dry bonds, hot bonds, cold bonds, different materials use different adhesives, not sure I can mix them (put the 25 on the steel band, and the 35 on the fibrous lining material etc).

Before I start gluing, I'm hoping maybe someone here has experience doing this kind of brake restoration and has tips/pointers on the bonding process.
