Hi Michael,
Not sure if this will help but...
We used to have shoes relined in years gone by and always specified 0.187"
thickness for the lining material.
That measurement originated from a set of NOS rears that we had come
across.
We successfully installed many many sets, both front and rear and sold lots
more.
To the best of my knowledge we never had any complaints about shoes relined
to that thickness.

Shoes sold now days are all new material.  If the steel shoe is manufactured a bit out of original specs the lining material would have to be adjusted to get the required max diameter to fit in the drum. 
Too large a shoe means thinner lining.  If anyone needs original shoes to reline I have a bunch.

I just received an order from Moss which included front and rear brake shoes because they were on sale and I actually needed them for the restoration.  What puzzles me is the fact the front shoe lining is thinner than the rear shoe lining.  It is actually half as thick!  Am I missing something here?
