[QUOTE="Marcus Bowden, post: 120059, member: 3287"] Check shoe cam heels and the amount of movement, one wants as little movement as possible, so long as the shoes are not touching the drum. I make steel heels on the cam end of the shoe with higher ends so I can cut Bandit S/S 3/4"band/strapping in lengths and place them equally into the steel shoe ends, keep adding till shoe touches drum when trying to mount it, the cut shims are 0.030" (0.37mm), on one of the bikes I've just checked I fitted 4 or 5 shims under each heel, and with bonded linings, one can go down even further. I like to wear things out as much as possible, value for money. Having had done a quantity of AM4 linings 40 plus years ago found a lining had dropped off !!!??? how many more are ready to part company from the shoe? Question:- AM4's when fitted to the front do tend to squeal on light applications then quieter on hard application, but never hear a squeak from the back brakes. Nor do the spring hooks break. bananaman. [/QUOTE]
