[Healeys] 3000 rear drum brake linings

Yes. When I purchased my '64 BJ8 with about 70,000 miles on it in 1983 & began a restoration the rear brake shoe linings was getting thin. Not down to the rivet heads but very close.

Hi Men,
Serious question. 
Has anyone on this list ever actually replaced their rear drum brake linings because they were worn out?
Not rear disc brakes. Not front brakes. Only 3000. Only rear drum brake linings. 
Not because they were oil soaked, not misaligned worn, not because of unknown pedigree - I mean just plain old worn out?
I've never, ever, seen or heard of a set of worn out rear drum brake shoes on a 3000. 
Let me know if you've ever worn out a set of rear brake linings - yes or no. 
Feel free to elaborate on the yes - I've never seen or heard of any...
I'll reveal the method to my madness soon - but now, I'm collecting data - I don't think anyone has ever replaced rear drum brake linings on a Healey 3000 due to actually wearing them out!
Best
Chris
