[QUOTE="fogrider, post: 177546, member: 2655"] That 2mm stiffener plate is essential and I suspect is the main gain in Bert Weitz's mod. I rather think letting the cam end self centre would be of bigger benefit since the cam moves the shoes in somewhat unequal distances/pressures. Not so easy to arrange. Linings and lining lengths make a huge difference. The AM4's I had were very good, but when visiting Norman Friston ( Sir Frizzer ) , 20 odd years ago, he had a long roll of Mintex M24. He swore it was the ONLY lining any good for 7" cast iron drums - it was OE for Mini rear drums. I bought enough to do the front shoes . They were excellent, even without all the stiffener mods I would do now. It's no longer available, but some re-liners say they have the equivalent on stock, to quote Mandy Rice Davis, they would say that, would,nt they ! Work in progress.... [/QUOTE]
