Bob- lining thickness is not that important (when new) but it is important to
have the shoes arc-machined to the exact ID of the (each) drum. Don't think
thay will wear-in. With the minimal braking power available, you can drive for
several years before the shoes make full contact Brake lining is pretty stout
material. You need all the contact you can get.

Think of the rods as "flying wires". They only work under tension so a nut on
the outside is not needed,
