Great idea, Roger! I bought an alignment kit with a similar
inclinometer.<br>

<div>Bob - just for interest.<br>

<div>Your large caliper (that I don't have) idea got me
thinking and remembering that I have one of those digital
inclinometer angle boxes that I use to set up my saw.</div>
<div>The spec. claims 0.1 deg accuracy and it is spot on when
comparing to an engineering square.</div>
<div>So I used this as shown in the photos to set the shoe at 90
deg to the hub (not backplate)<br>
</div>
<div>The 0.1 deg error translates into 4 thou at the edge of the
2.25 in width shoe.</div>

<div> I think centering the shoes with the brakes applied
works well, but only with new/freshly turned drums and
shoes. If the shoes aren't centered they will wear uneven,
and lock up uneven.<br>
<br>
The best idea I've come up with is to use a large
caliper--not easy/cheap to find--and make sure the shoes
are square to each other. If they are, they should be
orthogonal to the backplate.<br>

<div>Yes agree about the felt bushes. I assume
that their only function is to prevent metal to
metal contact ?</div>
<div>So do the fibre tubes protrude slightly
beyond the end of the pegs ?</div>
<div>Will try to locate something suitable.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Wonder how you adjust these pegs ?</div>
<div>There seems to be 3 different techniques:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Moss method with chalk marks on the
shoes. <br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The Salter method by adjusting in/out to each
shoe edge then setting to the mid point.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The usual method - centering the shoes (by
stomping on the brakes) then adjusting the peg
to just make contact while shoes are clamped.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I tend to favour the last method .... ?<br>
