1939 brake shoes. Axle. It looks like some shims were added to your brake shoes, I had this problem on my 37 C , with peplacement bonded shoes that had a loose fit on the top pin. My original riveted shoes were reinforced at the top and so thicker. I made up some shims attached to the shoes to solve . Also the bonded shoes material is slightly wider at the bottom, so l machined the slot out in the wheel cylinder pin. I guess I should of had reclined the original sloes. What fits isn't allways the same Carry on. Dave
