[Healeys] Re-arcing Brake Shoes

[Bob Spidell]

Listers,


On my last long cross-country in my BJ8, I got a little squeak from a 
rear brake on hard braking; I suspect it may be time to re-shoe the ol' 
hoss.

Hopefully, I can have the drums turned as they have been balanced.  If 
so, I'd like to get the shoes re-arced to the new inside diameter of the 
drums, but I suspect this is an arcane science that may not be widely 
practiced any more.  Is this (re-arcing) recommended or necessary?  If 
so, has anyone had luck finding a parts store or machinist that can do this?


TIA,
bs
