EXPLANATIONS: 

1.             Send us your shoes only.  We will inspect the shoes for condition and applicability.  We then remove the old rivets, clean & paint the stripped shoes and rivet the appropriate compound linings for your specific application.   Upon return, you will need to mount the shoes on your back plate, and turn on a lathe to .020" under your drum diameter. See Note below.  

2.             Send us your backplate/brake shoe assembly (w/o wheel).  You are doing the measuring for concentricity with an accurate vernier caliper measured to the nearest .001" and supplying us the precise inside diameter of the drum.  We then remove the old rivets, clean & blast the stripped shoes and rivet the appropriate compound linings for your specific application.  Using your measurements, we then arc the mounted shoes to the proper size. 

 3.             All of #2 plus drum turning, backplate service, and wheel bearing work.

 

Note: If you want to arc the linings yourself, and have access to a lathe, first mount the relined shoes on the backing plate.Turn on the lathe (300-350rpm) to .020" under drum I.D. in .010" cuts.
