I think I found my problem,or at least part of it. I've opted to install the rear drums upside down to allow clearance for the rear shock mounts,without having to cut up a good set of backing plates. Ive also installed the grease rings upside down,so the trough side is in the proper orientation . This caused interference with the brakes holding the shoes apart.Simple issue. The mismatched drum now fits,but still needs to be cut as it drags. I don't see any adjusters to bring the shoes in. Maybe I'm missing something?
