Hi all,
So I don’t think I’ve read a topic about rear brakes without a polite reminder
To install them correctly.
I have rear brake locking issues so have new cylinders and shoes and done a complete Strip and clean.
Being thoroughly aware of correct installation - my new Protex N1174’s from
Resto Country have the same length friction material on all 4 shoes but they
Are glued on in slightly different positions.
Knowing how vitally important it is, This was my guess -

Any thoughts?
Cheers
Al

You have the shoes in their correct positions however the lining on the secondary shoe (the one facing the rear of the car) looks quite a bit short at the bottom.

It should be about the same length as the bottom of the primary lining.

My trusty old Gregory’s has the specs, I just wonder why new shoes aren’t made so when there is so much talk about it being so important

Because they are made in China.

Got a set of second hand rivited rear shoes of my UC some where. They are both the same lenght but 1 has a slot full lenght down the center of the lining. Do no know if they are origonal fitment but the car only had 61K on it when I removed them.

Any decent brake shop will reline your shoes if you have the original ones, and it isn't any dearer than buying chink junk on line.
