Re: IML: SV: '62 Identifying Brake Shoes

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

I have seen it both ways. My '60 Custom has the best brakes of all my 
Center Plane cars. The linings are all the same on it. When I did all 
the brake jobs in 2003, the shoes were relined all the same. I was able 
to buy new shoes for the '63 and the '65, they came with less lining on 
the leading shoe.

I don't think this is the case on these brakes. I know that's true on 
63 up, but 60-62 have all shoes with the same amount of lining on them.

The Primary or leading brake shoe's lining material is shorter. This is 
the front shoe of the wheel being worked on. The rear shoe's lining 
material is longer. This hold true for both front and rear brake shoes 
on a drum brake set up or rear drum &front disc setup.  The FSM shows a 
clear picture to aid you.The metal portion is the same for both primary 
& secondary shoes. I would recomend you save your old shoes & have them 
relined.
