I just replaced my front brake shoes and wheel cylinders on my '62 Midget and couldn't get one of the drums on over the new shoes. Drove me crazy until I discovered the machining of the shoes was inconsistent. Some of the shoes contact points on the wheel cylinders are too high making the shoes sit too high so the drum can't clear the shoes. I had to file the metal contact points down on the shoes so they would sit low enough to cclear the drums. I informed Moss about the problem. All this time wasted and now I have the usual air in the lines which I am having the worst time ever getting out. Seems like I have spent most of the week on usually simple maintenance .
