Hi Pete,

I just had the same experience too. Left side rear went on fine but not the right rear. I measured the thickness of shoes, metal and composite, in many places along the arc, and found that they varied quite a bit. I ended up taking about 1/32" of both shoes on this right side in order to get enough clearance. My drums were NOS Ford bought years ago.

I used a hand held sander (use a dust mask!) and measured with calipers frequently and close on the arc. It took me 3 times to get it right which was a pain putting shoes on and off.
