Mcmaster.com has several different types in 1" width. Search on "brake
lining".

That is an interesting question. What sort of adhesive works best for
gluing friction material to steel. I know cyanoacrylates let go at about
250F or so iirc so that would be a bad choice. I glued a piece of shim
stock to the knee gib on my bridgeport and it was not thick enough. A bit
of time in the kitchen oven and that came off.

So you chemists on the list, what would be a good choice?

In the trade, they use phenolics; and bake the old shoes to maybe 350 C to
get them off.

Firms that supply vintage car restorers might be able to help. I once had
some for Ford Model T brakes, and used part of it to reline the shoes of a
1962 Norton motorcycle.

I used to be friends with the local brake shop owners and they'd do
stuff like that for me for $10 or $20. I turned my own drums and
rotors on their brake lathes for $5 a pop. Chances are good that your
local independent brake shop will do it for fairly cheap, riveting and
the right sort of lining. Check it out before you waste a day on a
(possibly) bad fix.
