[QUOTE="A_HRD, post: 44042, member: 49"] I have pink/red shoes in the front of my Rapide. They have been in there for over 25 years. Every now and again, when I come to clean and fettle the brakes - I expect to find them worn out. But not so. They seem to last for ever and they are wicked brakes. I have replaced the drums though - once in that time. If these pink/red linings are still available I will be first in the queue! I also have a bike-set of over-thick AM4 lined shoes available from my old stock (bought before the H&S brigade banned them); when I lathe-turn these to fit, I use a fine water-spray which means the asbestos doesn't become airborne but comes off as sludge and is easily collected-up and disposed of.
