[Fot] Brake shoe re-arching

[Steve Yott]

Good luck with that.  I haven't seen one of those tools in 40 years!  I used
one of these in a shop when we would actually reline shoes with material
which was very thick and you would radius the shoes on the machine which was
basically a sanding wheel.  The normal cut on a drum would be about 010 to
020 and the new shoes should bed in okay.

Subject: [Fot] Brake shoe re-arching

Hey FoT, 

I'm getting ready to reline my brakes and I have inquired at my local shops 

about re-arching the shoes to fit the newly turned drums. Out of three
inquiries 

all three thought I was from another planet and all three suggested I bring
the 

car in so they could adjust my brakes properly. I suspect they thought I was
the one 

that didn't know what I was talking about. Maybe I am from another planet
and just 

don't know it. 

Any input or comments on re-arching brake shoes would be appreciated. 

Jim G.
