Just for fun thought about looking through the stash. The parts bin shows 9=
4 used rear brake shoes with only 1 worn more than 50 percent of original l=
ining thickness. That one is paper thin.  I had previously sent the info to=
 Chris who asked the question.=20
Kept the cores in a time that new shoes was an Austin Healey owners dream a=
nd relined shoes was a way of life. Never found someone that was good enoug=
h to reline them.=20
I guess I was unknowingly just waiting for Chris to ask his question.
Hope you all are having a good day
