Brake shoe lining thickness

[Howard Wright]

Thanks Bob, Simon and bystander

I’ve cleaned the drums and run emery paper around them.  One is quite scored but the other quite good. Both are round (not oval). I intend to give the scored one a light skim.

This afternoon after some rubbing down with emery I’ve got the shoes to fit. I’m sure you should not need to take as much off as I have done.  I’ve decided to have some shoes professionally lined but am a bit anxious that I give the right dimensions to the lining firm.  

Thanks for your replies

Cheers

Howard
