>Primary shoe is the front one and it has the shorter lining.

Good catch...my bad. I edited my post so as to not screw up anyone...thanks

Interesting that the Service Manual does not discuss the length of the shoe material...only discusses the primary and secondary bit.

Also...a Gee Wiz question...why not just make both shoes with the same length (amount) of liner? If the forward shoe has more liner then it would apply even more pressure on the aft shoe and make the brakes work better...right??? Yes the aft shoe in this case would wear faster than the front liner but still during the service life the car would still stop faster...
