I have just received a set of steel brake shoes back from Saftec with new bonded liners. Quick service. However, the liners look very thick and measure 5mm.
Previously liners from Saftec have been 3.5mm thick - and I seem to remember that they required the full adjustment of the Girling adjuster when putting the drum back on. (This was on a full Girling very late axle.)
So, at 5mm, are the linings likely to be too thick, please? - the extra depth could stopping the drum from being refitted even at the maximum adjustment?
