[Healeys] Rear Brake Shoes

[Dick Matson]

I did a balance of the rear drums some years ago now.  The difference on the
road was night and day.

  I also have the drums skimmed internally and then the linings skimmed
  to give a 100% contact. I did this to my BN2 for racing years ago. I
  found the resultant increase in braking efficiency was remarkable.
  I've since done it to my 3000.

  While you're at it, considering having your brake drums externally
  machined to make them perfectly balanced.  That tip was given to me by
  Patrick Quinn.
