PeteVS …...I KNOW that you have a handle on this old Ford stuff because of your history here. But I'm still confused about the Lockheed/Bendix thing because of your thread TITLE....."Lockheed brakes"! Then you mention "vendor of brake equipment", which doesn't make it clear WHICH type of SHOES you bought.
You also said that you adjusted "shoes OUT all the way". For drum assembly clearance, surely you realize that you must begin by adjusting shoes ALL the way
IN. So, are we in fact dealing with Bendix backing plates....OR Lockheeds? Your mention of USED SHOES makes me think Lockheed parts. DD
