[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 89120, member: 60"] It is true that some surface 'hardening' occurs with some modern lining material especially standard stuff exposed to hard braking over a period. I have a suspicion it may be reintegration of dust. the old am4 always kept grainy following advice of the times when everyone was racing on asbestos at the voc races I would put shallow diagonal hacksaw slots at say half inch spacing in the faces of the linings to direct dust to the outside of the drum safetek do some am4 replacement material 'of limited supply' whatever that means I use it on the racers it seems ok better than most but not as good as the old Brampton bender stuff of yesteryear and I wouldn't like to bet on it getting through Australian customs [/QUOTE]
