Replacement brakes for 81 CR 250

I need new brakes, but on a tight budget, so I'm looking doing a reline instead of buying new. Has any other member done this and how did well did it work out? Info on materials and installation procedures would be greatly appreciated.....thanks in advance

Usually the cheapo way is to either pad the brake cam or the face of the shoe which contacts the brake cam. I have padded the shoes once but the guys who rode them back then talk about wrapping the cam. You probably should use rivets if you do it yourself not just glue. I think copper rivets were what they sold me for my vintage bmw but I doubt any manufacturer sells linings and rivets now. Of course if you went on a mud run and didn't clean and air your wheels afterwards they can come un glued and what I suggest won't work. Usually there is friction material left but the lever isn't pointing in a good direction any more.
