Sorry, don't have thickness for you, more fundamental question. Did you call Hills so that they can either work with you or realize they need to replace the pads with correct shoes?

WOW - No idea the thickness?? Must be a new person or something. I have run across the same issues with "phone helpers" at Moss who do not know the voltage on the coils they well for my 1954 MG TF, and other British car suppliers. I have no dog in this fight but after ordering several items for m 57 Bird, I have found the most knowledgable are the CASCO people, but call the restoration part of their business. Again, there are many fine suppliers for 57 Birds, and I have purchased from 3 or 4 others. I am speaking only about answers I get from them.
