BRAKES

1959 200 SS rebuild (brakes).
I presume they were manufactured by Grimeca ? I have various drums, plates and shoes at my disposal, the question being, what is the correct length of the lining.
Some of the shoes have linings on the greater part of there surface / length, one set of front and rear shoes have very short linings, which terminate each end, at what would appear to be datum points on the outer edge of the shoe. I have had a front and rear set of shoes fitted with oversize linings, which I intend too machine to the correct radius, but I am undecided about the length.
Has anyone any information, or been down this road.
Thanks
Brian
