You need to find a time machine or have new linings mounted on to original shoes.

Best to have yours reclined. Make sure they use a very soft lining material.

I just had mine relined on my 27 Hudson. It cost around $750 for all 4. The new lining is non asbestos.https://industrialbrakeclutch.com/contact-industrial-brake-clutch-exchange/

I am seriously considering this as a new biz start!  I am floored by the cost and that customers are ready to pay that cost.   Waco Brake and clutch charged me 100 dollars US to reline both sets front shoes straighten and cut both drums as well as arc the shoes to the drums.

wow...750 US is like 1000 canadian....
i think i'll see what shape the ones i have on the ORIGINAL 28 frame and drivetrain, I'm hoping for the best...

Check with the folks on the AACA forum.  $750 US seems extraordinarily expense

Then & Now Automotive in Weymouth MA, reclines brake shoes. They have a web site.

Relines brake shoes. They have done my 29 Hudson, and 33 DeSoto. It’s better to call them rather than email.
