Hi Ivor
Safetek is the lining firm. I’ve just had a set of alloy shoes done and four steel Girling shoes lined. I posted recently that some existing Girling shoes I had had linings too thick to take the 7” drums. The Safetek ones fit fine so I am surprised that yours don’t.
Try and put the shoes in a drum off the car to see if they are touching anywhere and are the same curvature. I think it is permissible to lightly abrade fresh linings to fit the drums. Also check that the drums are not distorted.
Cheers
Howard
