T20 band lining

[whistlepig1]

Does anyone know what kind of material is used to reline and where to purchase said material?

[whistlepig1]

Thought I'd put my question back to the top . Surely somebody knows.

tranny crafters in Albany Georgia will do all 4 for 150 bucks 229-883-8490. just had mine done and had them back in 7 days,

Thanks for the reply zfish. I'll probably go with your suggestion. I found out about them on this great site. But we always try to take "do it yourself " to the highest level. Maybe somebody has more information about the actual lining material.

I have heard nothing but good things about their service, I am about to send my bands off to be relined.

Back to the top with my question. The guys in albany,GA are providing a fine service. But if we could just buy the lining material ourselves.It would sure help out all us do it yourselfers.

From talking to people that line the bands the tools to press the lining to the spiral bands is very specific.

Production tools would be.....but there are always things you can do to get around it. You could use an old trans, modify it to use the existing drum/band setup and just pull on the plunger to seat the lining till the glue sets up. I don't know if the glue is epoxy or heat activated, but either would work.

I'm all for saving money by doing things myself, but it would only take one failure to outweigh the cost of a few reline jobs from TC. For the product they provide and the price they charge, we'll stick with them.

My sentiments exactly,didn't want to rain on anyones parade,but,one failed adhesive "experiment" could eaisly result in one(or more) damaged drum(s).then what?
