[QUOTE="timetraveller, post: 136901, member: 456"] Yes, a new batch is being cast, machined and lined at the moment. I can't tell you when they will be ready but my guess is about a month. The difference from the standard shoes is that they do not have the dip in the shoes at each end of the lining which allows much longer linings to be fitted. Additionally the hook for the springs is replaced by an enlarged part of the casting with a hole in it so there is nothing to break off or fatigue. They are also cast with stiffening gussets between the lining surface and the radial part of the shoe to give additional stiffness. Although there was some earlier discussion about which part of the lining has the most effect the feedback from Australia from someone who got Greg to fit the shoes is that they are the best Vincent brakes he has ever had. I assume that this does not include twin leading shoes or whatever. More details are available via the earlier postings which can be found under the search function. [/QUOTE]
