Re: [FWDLK] Contour Grinding Brake Shoes



Once the material has been removed, the contact patch will larger(actually maximum size) , thusly it will wear more slowly.
You will have better brakes in the bargain.

Seems to me the material has to be removed from the ends of the shoes rather than the middle. If the shoes are too small, then removing material form the center would fit them, but the center of the shoe would be thinner and the smaller patch would wear out prematurely? Am I thinking about this correctly?

OK, let's say I didn't contour grind the brake shoes to fit the drums. Would
a few 'panic stops' be enough to contour the shoes to the drums ? How much
material is actually removed from the center of the shoe to get it to
conform to the drum ?
