Subject: Wheel Identity

I need some help.
I've got a set of 800X4 tires mounted on a set of aluminum wheels.  Can
somebody tell me what they are and where I can get brake lining for them?
I believe they came off an old J3 or some Piper sort because of the tire
size.  They're typical drum type brakes with two shoes in each, actuated
hydraulically by a typical wheel cylinder which is powered by Scott heel
type master cylinders.  These units are very robust, well built, and high
quality.    The wheel assembly is in two pieces, one half containing the
finned drum.  The only markings I can find are the stamped numbers 1 and 2
used for alignment purposes.  They're held together by 3 thru bolts with
nuts and the bearing retainers are held in with three countersunk screws.
I'd be mega-greatful for any help in identifying
these wheels and where I might find a shoe liner and/or other parts.
