Well I feel better now!
It turned out that the linings on the shoes were a little wider than the
drum liked. I had the drums turned and filed off the lining even with
the metal and all is working normal. I don't know what the clearance is
between the shoe and the outside of the drum but I can attest to the
fact that there was no room for error.
Prozac helped too ::-))

70 Midget
(stops on a dime, but still puts a drop of brake fluid on my shoes,
tomorrow's project)
Nashville
It's been raining for 37 days and 37 nights, any body know of
ark.plans@construction.wet
group?
This is what I reported Saturday:
"I just came in from the garage having spent the best part of the
morning replacing the
rear brakes on the Midget. I got the shoes at a local parts store and
they look correct. The problem is that it looks like the lining is too
thick and they rub, drag, hell they won't turn. I drove the car around
the block and they are "smokin"!"
