So the Vinduro has been acquired, and, with the help of Vinduro Corner I’ve got a place to go to see what’s going on in the scene (VERi Vinduro)

All good, and I enjoy tinkering which is a plus.

Today’s job is to inspect the front brakes. I suspect I’m going to find that the shoes are a lining free zone.

So, does anybody know of somewhere where the brake shoes can be rebonded and possibly the drum machined as well, first preference Eastern suburbs as I’m located in Ringwood?

There's a brake place in Whitehorse Road, Mont Albert (a few doors down from Mick Hone).  They relined a set of shoes for one of my bikes.

Take the wheel in and they'll calculate how much meat to put on the shoes, based on the wear of the hub.

I've got no leads regarding relining the inside of the hub.

Make sure they machine the shoes to suit the hub dia with a 1mm spacer between the lever cam and shoes.
It's just more time to be flat out!
