FED 387 - thank you for the contact. Scott referred me to Rochester Brake and Clutch out of NY and they told me “good luck in finding a set”. Apparently in the industry they are referred to as “velvet touch” shoes and are relined in Switzerland!!! Nobody makes these brake shoes anymore. And he is checking for me if he can get or has some at a reasonable price. He asked me to describe how they looked? I told him they had individual square pucks on the back shoe and on the front shoe’s the bucks were spaced out a little further. He laughed and said the nostalgic road race community is paying through the nose for these things. Thank you for the lead but I think I’m going to convert the rear to disk now. I wish I knew what I had, I would not have use them.
