Topic: '67 Shelby brake drums

Just posted a pic in my build thread of the Eastwood gray exhaust manifold high temp paint on my brake drum. Here is a linked image:

How about if I throw in the 2 1/2" rear brake shoes into this Shelby discussion?

I was looking at Charles' post about his earlier brake shoes and the pic he shared on the FB forum and see that he has silver colored brake shoes (the shoe, not the lining). Of course, different year and all that.
I don't know why, but I never looked at the shoes on mine and found these marks on the primary and secondary shoes.

I don't know if this K/H part number decodes as an original piece (48118).
I also don't know if the bronze metallic is the right color.

If you are referring to brake shoes on the 65 GT350 Charles has been working on then they are completely different from the 67 ones in your picture. 65 /66 GT350 was semi metallic material and were segmented for cooling  (a truck part ).The soe material has a gray with silver metallic particles imbedded in the material for a distinct look compared to regular brake shoe material like in your picture. Also they were bonded and not riveted to the shoe core. 67 Shelby shoes changed from the semi metallic which required more foot pressure when cold to the typical material used on regular production Mustangs and full size cars.They were also not segmented like the 65/66 GT350 . I believe the assemblyline 67 2 1/2 shoes were also bonded with no rivets.

I don't have any samples, do the bonded lining versions have holes for where rivets could be placed in other applications? I seem to recall seeing goop coming out these holes on other applications.

Holes in the metal core but no holes through the lining material typically.
