Shoes from RockAuto. I compared the metal stamping's sizes and they were identical except for the thicker brake material. Could not fit drum over the new shoes even with the adjuster nut fully collapsed. I have never heard of sanding down new shoes. A first for me here.
Never had much trouble mounting those washers/spring when the shoes are exposed like drum brakes of yester years. This set of parking brake shoes partially hidden behind the wheel hub tried my patience, hence the fishing line/zip tie mother of inventions. LOL
