On the subject of brake shoes, I've just finished putting new shoes on the front of my Special. I am now wondering if there is different linings recommended for cable brakes. I just took the shoes in to the shop and asked the boys to reline them, without telling them it was for cable brakes. Yesterday I took the car for a wee drive, and was slightly disappointed at the amount of pedal pressure required to stop it. It was fairly difficult to get the wheels to skid on loose gravel at low speed.
