Let me see3 if I can answer all of the questions.
1. Location is upstate NY near the Mass and Conn. lines, not very far from Vt.

2. I tried the shims the first time I put the drum's on and found that they were not necessary. The drums do not touch the backing plates.

3. The drums were slipped over the brake shoes on the backing plate when they arrived so they shoulod fit.

4. I had to align the drums to the key in order to get them to go on as far as they have gone on. At that point everything turned as it should.

Thanks for your help, it is always appreciated. Jack
