Subject: Re: Front Brake adjustment
To compensate wear on the brake shoes you put little strips of metal under the brake shoe ends. The only disadvantage is that only the cam end is compensated, and ideally the brake linings should be re-shaped to accommodate the new contact area of the brake drum. I have been meaning to take a scrap brake drum and machine off the top so that I can attach a cutter to do this but have not got round to it yet.
