1935 Cabriolet--brake linings

I would like to replace the bonded brake linings with woven linings. Are there differences in the quality of the woven linings that various vendors sell? Can anyone recommend a vendor that has the best linings?
Also, who sells brake shoes? In the MAC's catalog they sell the woven linings already affixed to the shoes. I do not know if they are riveted. Has anyone had any experience with these!
I have read that TRIMAT makes a good woven lining. It appears that TRIMAT is a UK company that makes the woven material. Does anyone know who sells the TRIMAT woven linings here in the US?
Thanks in advance for your advice which is much appreciated.

I purchased a set of relined woven shoes from Mac's for my 1935... they are bonded/no rivets.

In my opinon, they look like the vendor did a quality relining/bonding job. I have had no issues in approx 300 miles.

Hopes this helps, jim
