glennj3 ,

Why not do this the easy way .

There's a real nice set of GM NOS brake shoes on ebay .

The price is $44.95 or BEST OFFER .

GM part # 3703513

Go to ebay & type in the search box...........3703513

Then there's no more debate over woven lining material , rivets , size , etc .

You are making this way to complicated for yourself ............IMO .

You can probably get the whole set of ( 4 ) shoes for $40.00

The made in china after market brake shoes are probably more than $44.95 or best offer .

I would not recommend junk yard brake shoes .
