Hi Don, been there, done that with my TR6. The shoe linings are too =
bloody thick.
You can turn the drums but why waste good material in the drums.
I can't find anyone to cam grind the linings like shops used to do. Some =
called it arc grinding.
One trick that Uncle Ted taught me: grind a small amount of material off =
the metal brake shoe end where it contacts the wheel cylinder and the =
brake adjuster. (I'm not sure what your shoes look like; I'm assuming =
that they are similar to mine) This will bring the shoes slightly closer =
together.
I've run into this problem with several different suppliers.
Good luck, Bill
