Normally the early ones have the large shoe facing forward, being self energizing you swapped the other way [?] , would that have an effect on the E brake ?
When I did my fronts [MT Bolling] they were made a bit out of whack and I had to sort out what is was that caused the problem , scored the drum grrr . And their linings are just barely over 1 3/4" I took mine local and had them remove and put full 2" linings on .
