Relining nla clutch shoes

[blackbruin]

Im sure it can be done with jb weld etc.
But is anybody doing this and if so what are you using and your method?
I have several hard to get nla clutches that could use a relining and make them like new again...

I read something about this in the Remington saw thread once I believe?

Are they husky and jonsered clutches? Those are usually just solid metal (no separate “shoe” material). Once they wear out the shoes you have to get whole new shoes or a entirely new clutch assembly (cause usually the spider and springs are shot at that point anyway).

I have new springs and spiders unfortunately the shoes are unobtanium yes jonsereds. Unique to only jonsered. I should have been more clear. I should have said shim....thank you

I wonder if new “shoe” material could be welded onto the clutch shoe surface by building up weld material… and then milled off on a lathe to the correct diameter somehow? Just a thought. That would be a lot of effort though.

The 090 had a lining on the shoes. I wonder what it was and how it was attached. I used to wonder about metal on metal clutches since the 090 had a liner, and I have seen liners in the bell of RC car and helicopter clutches. Anyway, I also think that welding idea could work, but I bet some expert welder would have something to say about welding clutch material.

maybe easier to reline drum?
thinkin somethin like a speedy sleeve used w/axle seals

Short answer, no. Cast steel part.

The lining is just like bonded brake shoes of old non metalic.

If the drum got that thin better to toss it.
