Default make the 34 front brakes work

I made a little fixture to machine my oversize brake shoes for the new drums that I got from Newc - thanks mate!
Under each end of the shoes there is a small screw with locknut in the disc. Thus I can make fine adjustments to position the shoes to center them to the disc.
Anyhow - with a sharp tool it is easy to machine the shoes to the correct diameter for perfect contact right from the start.
What a joy when fitting the shoes and adjusting - no drag on the drums and instant braking when the pedal is pushed.
