[q uote=Luigi]Update: the markings on the metal side of the shoes, were made by the machineshop. They had to make the linings smaller to fit on the shoes..


[/quote ] What the Frick, make the linings narrower to fit the drums No Good I'll bet your linings are either 11.0 inch by 2.5 inch wide or 11.0 by 3.0 inch wide with the same size drums, correct? There are several different versions of those size linings and shoes for the different years of the larger diameter 11.0 inch brakes
I know your across the pond which makes it a lot more difficult to get the correct parts for our old cars made here in America, it ain't like you have 14 different local part stores to go to pick parts from like here I would want you to get the correct parts now instead of gerry rigging those parts like they are now
