<div class="">For the times you need to heat the adhesive to 300 degrees why not go to a few yard sales and pick up a cheap toaster oven?</div>

A bit of an update on this, since I think I started this thread. Thanks for all that responded.
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">In looking at some of the antique car sites.... it looks to me like the Pliobond HT-30 adhesive available from McMaster for about $46 per quart is probably a reasonable choice to bond the linings to the brake shoes. The drawback is that it needs
to be cured for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. Given that there are places where it can't be sent... I suspect there are fumes involved, thus not for home kitchen use. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Some of the car people mentioned using JB Weld, .... but due to the lower melting point compared to the Pliobond, most of the people thought it was a safety hazard in cars. Supposedly, the JB Weld can stand 500 degrees F, with short transients
to 600 degrees. In my tractor usage, it is not like I am using my brakes down a long steep highway hill. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I have been doing some removal of brakes from part of my herd, and I have quite a bit of brake lining work ahead. For the most part, I am planning on doing the combination of adhesive (probably JB Weld) and rivets. For the linings that I have
to drill and countersink the holes, I followed the advice of one of the respondents, and purchased a set of brad point bits from HF, along with some of the little circular stops that can be put on the bits. I need to file the cutters on the outside of the
bits flat with the rest of the bit, but overall I felt pretty good about the HF purchase. McMaster also looks to be a decent place to buy rivets. I figure the adhesive will help hold things in place better than vice grips when doing the drilling and countersinking.
I pretty much work by myself, this is a job that another pair of hands might be useful.</div>

<div class="">If I have a measure of success, I will send along some pictures.</div>

I had a contact who had retired from the former Detroit axle facility of chrysler. He made the point that that facility had an extremely wide range of manufacturing processes, including bonding brake linings to shoes.

Just an afterthought. Most brake shoes are bonded. A heat curing glue is used to glue the shoe to the lining. If you can find the glue the rivets would hold the lining on until the glue would set. I have a brake shoe oven, bought long ago at a Chrysler
dealership that started out as a blacksmith shop in the late 1800's. However, the glue can was empty and no label.<br clear="none" class="">
