Mark is correct in that the holes will get egg shaped where the pins go thru. Also, many shoes no longer have the correct parabolic shape which means even when you bond on the lining, it requires so much lining to be removed to match the drum that hardly any lining is left.
Ironically, I (also) have about 200
sets of brake shoe cores, an industrial way to clean and mediablast them, the oven and Anabond 230 adhesive, and all the necessary things to restore Model-A brake shoes, -and it is cheaper for me to buy the new shoes already lined than it is to restore them myself. Brake Shoes are about like Cylinder Heads, ...you can't hardly even give a good core away.
