Bump. Yeah, I know the thread is almost four years old, but the brakes in question are way older.
Vintage threads about vintage bikes are very 'now' when they're useful... I do searches all the time
I finally got my hands on a good complete set, and want to replace the brake pads. The original pads are intact, and work pretty well considering their age (75 ears old?). I put Kool-Stop V-pull pads in the front shoes, but need something thicker for the rear. Has anyone else done this? What did you use?
Hilary Stone has some of the thicker pads on his site - "Fibrax 253 Fatter thickness for rear brakes £12" - 'bout halfway down the page:

There are some Shimano pads that slip right into the Resilion holders but I've neither seen them nor used them so don't know how thick they are...
Ah, yer t'is - "
In fact Shimano V brakes pads will fit Resilion brake shoes."
