Brake shoes

[Greig Smith]

Ivor always remove some of the friction lining material, you can have the shoes re-lined, but you can't "add" metal to the drums and the thinner the drums become the more prone they are to distortion or "ovalling" if the hand brake is pulled on had to hot thin drums.

I've had success in fitting stubborn shoes by filing the surface with a flat metal file to get the linings to fit the drums, but a far better solution is to take the drums & shoes to a brace place who can arc them to fit the drums
