If you have the shoe they are relineable. I think NAPA can do it or do an internet search. Also I believe it was a motorcycle part. Lots of Simplex motorcycle info available and you can probably buy them that way.

I sent my shoes to the local rebuilder and had them relined . I also sent the drum/sprocket asm. at the same time so they could cut the drum and arch to shoes to match .
