Do you have to call them or do they have an online store? Not really finding anything on them but simple holding pages.

I saw an older post of your regarding the linings but I can't find it now. Are you having yours relined with the original "G" grade or the next step down to preserve drum life? I may just start collecting dead shoes to have relined and keep on the shelf.
