Yes, your right, many brakes nowdays are bonded on instead of riveted, but this guys lining is obviously supposed to be riveted on, not bonded. I have watched a company local to us that does both bonding and riveted linings and seen how they do them. Bonding requires the proper bonding agent for the material being bonded and every one I've ever seen them do also requires that the lining be held to the band under pressure and heat til the agent set. Unless this guy has the proper bonding agent for his lining and a way to do it properly I'll let you get in front of his JB welded brakes and stop because I'm not doing it....... When you get into the larger equipment you still see alot of riveted linings for the very reason being expressed here, SAFETY. Try running a large piece of equipment weighing 80,000lbs down a long grade and not getting the brakes hot...you can still get brakes for heavy trucks that are riveted for this reason...try running a crane and not getting the drum brakes or clutches hot.....maybe they don't reach 6oo+ degrees, but I personally wouldn't want to take that chance. With a rivet you've got a positive, mechanically bonded lining that can stay connected to the shoe even if the rivets happened to get loose. With a bonded type if the lining decides to let go then it's all over....Just my .02
