Subject:      Recoined Brake Shoes. Means: Arced ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hi all.


This link for Raybestos "Professional Grade" brake shoes:


http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=297589


mentions "recoined". Googling recoined, this may be a Raybestos term but....


Anyone know if this process actually shapes, or arcs, the shoe to the drum?


IIRC, I installed these on my '81 but that was at least 2 years ago. I
think the wear patterns indicated that the top 1/3 of shoes were contacting
drums but I haven't looked in some time.


Maybe Raybestos changed their manufacturing process since then?


Neil.
