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?
