dave647 27 #1 Posted November 14, 2018 is it advisable to clamp the new lining and external band to the drum while gluing the band material? thanks for any help 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,354 #2 Posted November 14, 2018 If you have them available... I use about 5 zip ties and clamp the band to the shoe without it being near the drum so that if any glue spills over it doesn't become an issue 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dave647 27 #3 Posted November 14, 2018 i am more concerned about the relaxed shape of the band and liner. is the band flexible enough to make proper contact with the drum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 68,354 #4 Posted November 14, 2018 Mine was on a b or c series. I don't know for sure if you have the same brake band. I don't see that it should be a problem. They are pretty flexible. As is the liner shoe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveoman1966 3,762 #5 Posted November 14, 2018 Clamp it...When dry and released, the steel band will 'recoil' perfectly enough to retain its shape, just clear of the brake drum. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KrazeyOlDave 860 #8 Posted November 28, 2019 Dave647, I’m having the same problem. Although I’m not opposed to buying a new band, I’m seeking a different option. $101 plus shipping is a tad ridiculous to me. I’ve ordered some brake band material but it’s been 4 weeks and still hasn’t shown up. My 310-8 is a restoration but certainly not a pile of poo. So I want it to be tight and alright. I’m considering a disk brake conversion. Might you remember where you got the brake material and what it was called? I’d love for it to be original but not at $101, LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I use about 5 zip ties and clamp the band to the shoe without it being near the drum so that if any glue spills over it doesn't become an issue I have Use Wax Paper when glue wood. I have also used non-stick Reynolds Wrap when using Heated Glue Sticks. Parchment Paper may also work I know the best Paper Tape won't stick to it. I haven't tried any of these with epoxy so a test first might be wise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
