Thank you for all the feedback and suggestions. I was unable to locate shoes or linings. Meritor wasn't able to provide a source for the linings as well as many others. Ended up sending the shoes to Florida (I live in AZ)  and had them relined. The individual who relined them said he had a difficult time sourcing the linings for the 15.5" drums. He got the linings from multiple vendors with no exact matches. He had to narrow some of the linings to 7" from 8" as well as redrill some of the shoes to accept the rivet patterns of the new linings. This has been a challenge to say the least. If I need brakes in the future, it will definetly be a front end upgrade as you all know will not be cheap.

Glenn, did you see my post? The issue is they would have to most likely source the parts from Europe to get metric pads. I am surprised they are modifying pads to fit, seems like that would be a liability.

I have a friend in France that I have been helping get parts for his Wanderlodge and Newell, yes he has both of these in France. I can reach out to him to see if he can find these parts if anyone is interested. I sourced a rebuild kit for his Detroit engine here in the states for him to rebuild his 6v92, so I am sure he will be helpful for us if we need a favor.
