What is the total thickness of a new unused rear brake pad+shoe for a 1948 Model 125?

5/32" (.156")

Thanks, Mutt. I'll measure mine and see what the thickness is. If they are close to the measurement you provided, I may have a worn hub because when I press on the brake pedal, it goes almost vertical and still doesn't completely engage the brake. I certainly hope it's not the hub. I doubt I'd find one of those.

I have a couple of NOS 48-51 rear hubs with the sprockets installed

Nice to know, Mutt. Price?
