What Brad says is right - but you shouldn't need to weld metal lumps on the end of brake shoes to make them work!

I agree with you Guy, and the cores should be checked before relining, but someone must be sleeping on the job. I wasted a lot of time by changing everything else during several assemblies and assuming these brand new shoes in the ABS box were correct. There was no way to make them work and they had to be replaced. It appears to me that the two pieces that make up the shoe were not located correctly when they were spot welded together, but I suppose these shoes fit another application and it is difficult to see the difference during the relining operation. I kept a picture of the "Shoes from hell" which I can dig up this evening if anyone is interested. I decided not to return them to save someone else from having to go through the same problem.
