Hi guys
I think I may have asked this question before but due to drinking at an early age my memory is pretty crap!!!!
I have a set of spacer drums for my 76 clubby 998 , the rear ones fit fine but the front ones foul the shoes and won't go on. I thought that the drums front and rear were the same size, or am I wrong? Could the shoes at the front be oversized? All the shoes are brand new.
Any help will be great.
Thanks guys
Rob m

The drums are same front & back, sounds like you might have oversize front shoes on it.
Where did you buy the shoes? A Mini place (would be std) or a brake shop (could be std, +1/32" or +1/16")

That's good news. A local garage did a complete brake overhaul inc master cylinder. I will buy some new standard brake shoes and try again.
Cheers for the advice Dr Mini. I will let you know how it goes.
