[QUOTE="fogrider, post: 177709, member: 2655"] Thanks David. I understand the 90 deg coverage, on all the shoes I have, the grooves make space for a 5.25" lining, I reckon that on the drum surface that equates to some 86 degrees. Close enough. I just think the same linings would be better moved up the shoe so the effort of the cam is better applied, that is what appears to be required from the design layout I saw - it was in a vehicle engineering and design text book in our main reference library. That related to the location of the linings on the backplate , rather than the percentage of lining coverage. The bike is off the road for the winter months and has quite a few bits off at the moment- rocker bushes to replace, clutch needs work, gearchange bushes, but I will have the brakes ready for assessment by late spring I'm sure. If it works, it works, If I'm prove wrong , it was an interesting try ! Regards all, Terry. [/QUOTE]
