Thanks for the info Brian. I can report that everything is now reassembled completely in accordance with Owen's instructions. When I initially disassembled the brakes I noticed the secondary shoes had marginally more meat on them than the primaries so, as the shoes are the same, I was going to reverse them to get more wear out of the set. That is until I noticed the different length linings and then I started to wonder if the way they were set up was correct. I couldn't find anything specific to explain that, hence my inquiry to you learned gentlemen. By the way, these linings were originally fitted in the US (the car came from California). Out here in good old Oz we wouldn't be able to buy complete matching sets off the shelf, we would get a new set made up by a brake specialist using the old ones as templates. Thanks to you both once again, you've been very helpful. Cheers, John
