A local and reputable shop has had the shoes for almost 4 weeks now while waiting for the shoe material to show up. Does anyone know where to go to get them relined? Thanks in advance.

I got your check today. Thanks. Did I miss a call yesterday? do you need another lining? I checked I and have some odds and ends. My phone does not tell me when I have missed a call. I missed one from Swansea. You?
Mike

No I did not try to call you today. I had the linings you sent me installed on the shoes by a local shop. Everything is back on the truck working fine. I only needed enough lining to do one side which was soaked with brake fluid. I just put the other set with the cracked lining on a shelf hoping I won't need it. I suppose if you have an extra lining kicking around I should grab it cause you never know.
