Glue brake linings? was created by D6Rick

I'm putting new brake linings in my D7 7M. Is it a good idea to glue them to the bands in addition to riveting? If so what kind of glue or cement should I use. Thanks, Rick.

I really don,t see where it,s necessary & Cat never did it on the machines like that & the bands flex some I,m sure when you apply the brake so if they are riveted on correctly I don,t see a problem with them.

I'm with SJ on this one. Any glued/ bonded linings are usually done by some factory process, not just something we could do at home. It would be a good plan to start your rivets and peen over a bit but not tight, so lining can move untill you get all of them in. Then start at the middle ones and work out to the ends of each piece.
