If you have the shoes, then it shouldn't be too expensive.
I took the shoes you sent me to a local clutch and brake shop and they relined them for about $40. (beats 140 for new ones!) If you ask any local brake shop they might be able to refer you to a place in your town that can re-line the shoes.

the shoes are also used in some model BMWs which is a much cheaper way of getting them. Sorry, don't know a part number for that!

SO, you can get 993 brakes to work pretty easy, how about Big Brake kits for the 993? Has anyone made a BREMBO Gran Turismo kit for a 993 work on a Beetle?
