Re: I am just curious, which band liner is better of the two?
If they are both in good condition and the lengths are at least 23 1/2 “ the Scandinavia is just a bit better but the Ford linings are still pretty good.
The reason is that the older band linings are woven really well. The tight weave makes a big difference. Wards, Allstate, Mark and a few others are pretty good. And if you have some don’t throw them away.
And as you said there are other opinions out there!

Scandinavia's for sure - those other put out by Wards and a few others are too thick and can cause re-installation issues with the band springs & nuts !
Scandi's are the only linings I have in my 5 T's.
