Re: Brake linings
Daren,
The short answer is, Yes arching was always done to match drum brake shoes to a freshly tuned brake drum.
Years ago the practice of arching was out lawed by the Feds. from fear of air pollution from grinding brake shoes & the resulting toxic dust.
You can 'hamster' fit brake shoes by using sticky backed sandpaper inside the brake drum to flatten high spots.
The real talent on this subject would be Randy Gross.
best, jb
