Ah well there ya go. ;) Was curious about riveted vs glued linings. In checking Raybestos site, I stumbled on this page of Professional grade shoes: I doubt they have these shoes for Vanagons but maybe? I assume the advantage of riveted linings is that they will stay put as opposed to glued linings which *might* come loose. Are there any other advantages to a riveted lining?
