520 drum brake

[cdsl810 181]

Is the mysterious brake band that contacts the brake drum supposed to have a lining? This would be for the 2nd generation dual function brake setup. I can't get even close to adjusting the brakes so that the parking brake and regular brake functions simultaneously. It appears that I'm short a good 1/4 inch of material to make this possible. The parts diagram seems to picture the brake band with a lining, which mine does not have. Either the band or the drum (or both) are worn to the point of no longer functioning. I ask you, fellow 520-ers...

I've heard, "Take the band to a local brake shop."

Some have purchased the band material online. Worth a peek-a-boo.

Not sure if it will work for your horse, but rmaynard was selling that material for brake bands...send him a PM  it was not expensive either.
