brake shoe thickness
Hi friends,
Can anyone tell me the brake shoe thickness of new brake shoes? Im considering replacing the brake shoes on my 1949 Olds 88 in the near future. I measured my thickness using a modern gauge designed for brake pads. My current front shoes are 5mm thick (.1969 or 13/64th). That's at the tail end of acceptable for brake pads. Anyone know what's new for shoes? Im heading to Carlisle soon and could save on shipping if I buy from Fusic while Im there, but there's no sense replacing shoes If I dont need to. I drive this car A LOT in the warm weather! Put on almost 10,000 miles last year.
Thanks,
Nathan

Standard Brake Shoe Linings are 1 / 4 " thick = .250.....
And rather than getting Chineseum garbage Brake Shoes, you would be farrrrrrrr better off with *** N.O.S. *** Asbestos *** Brake Shoes on a 1949 Oldsmobile.....
*** N.O.S. *** Asbestos *** Brake Shoes are the softest , smooooooothest braking system known to mankind, and will not rip up Brake Drums to smithereens --- and your Brake Drums
are N O T cheap.......
Fortunately for you , I have *** N.O.S. *** Asbestos *** Brake Shoes for your 1949 Oldsmobile, and can bring them to Spring Carlisle, if you let me know that you want them.....
Always best to simply call me --- 516 - 485 - 193five --- Craig.....

Thank you to those that informed me of the 1/4” thickness. Now I have a reference point and am the wiser.
