Brake shoes Grimeca 180mm

[Hank 9378]

Grimeca 180mm double sided single leading shoe brake ( Silver Shotgun ) does anyone have a recommendation for new brake shoes or looking for 4 leading shoe brake plates to suit Grimeca 180mm hub willing to buy or have Ducati single parts to trade.

My '73 Mk3 has the double Grimeca, and I found that EBC (good reputation in the old days, and still good in the car world) sell these : https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/ebc-brake-shoe-set-928.
BUT they are too wide, so need some machining to fit. I turned them into fully-floating shoes by more machining to the pivot end and adding a steel face-plate for the shoes to move across the pivot. Then used the adhesive sandpaper trick inside the brake drum to sand down the friction material to round. The fully-floating idea came from a Brit-bike wizard called Graham Blighe, who has had considerable fun with making even SLS Bantam brakes work well.
In the end, though, I also had the original shoes relined by these nice people, whose name you will recognise : https://villiersservices.co.uk/product/brake-shoe-re-lining-service/. With all the usual fine tuning, well documented on this forum, good cables etc., I'm very happy with the setup - given that I don't ride like a hooligan too often these days.
I did have a look for a TLS conversion, and always wanted a ridiculously expensive 4LS Fontana or similar, but the usual Honda TLS brake plates are now rare finds, probably hoarded by the clever racers who first worked out that it's a good idea. You'll also find lots on the forum about a TLS conversion.
Very good luck,
Pete.
