Question I would ask all of you; were the drums turned/trued to the proper diameter before trying to install? If so were they checked? We have been using the woven lining from Snyder's for both the service and parking brakes with new cast iron drums that have been trued and turned to the proper diameter with no real issues. Did you arc the service lining to the drum and taper the ends of service and parking brakes?
