I used Bendix shoes, part number 245 and 246 that have organic linings. I talked to Bendix and the lining material varies depending on when the shoes were made. They all have some metal in them according to the tech I talked to. When I got these I stuck a magnet on them and it barely had any pull.

The downside for me was that I had lots of vibration after the finish line if I put a little to much pressure on the pedal. I was advised to run the front brakes the standard way and that fixed the vibration, but now the car creeps through the beams again.

There's no E-brake on the car.
