amount of material off the metal brake shoe end where it contacts the wheel
cylinder and the brake adjuster. (I'm not sure what your shoes look like; I'm

question</div>
<div><br></div>
<div dir="ltr">My '57 TR3 (street car) has Girling 10" drums on the rear.Â
The new shoes I just got are too thick for the drums to fit over them.Â
Based on the TR3 shop manual I'm putting them on correctly. Has anyone
else experienced this with new shoes? I guess I can either sand the
shoes down or have the drums turned enough to make them fit. This is a very
low mileage car so there's plenty of meat in the drums. If there's
better answer I'd like to know what it is. Thanks, Don </div>
