Brake Shoe Arching
Where would you go to get brake shoes arched to fit the brake drums?
Racing a NA NHRA stocker should be mandatory before any posting.
Re: Brake Shoe Arching
The only arcing machine I've seen was at a heavy-duty driveline remanufacturer. They rebuilt transmissions, differentials, clutches and brake shoes for highway tractors and heavy-duty equipment. Find a heavy-duty repair shop that does brake jobs for oddball stuff like Payloaders and forklifts, they might know who has one in your area.
Re: Brake Shoe Arching
Both these companies will cut arc on the shoe lining to match the drums:
Porterfield
Rochester Brake and Clutch
Very different operations - one of them should work out for you.

I haven't seen the old universal linings that need to be arched in 40+ years... The modern style brake lining, you buy today is all ready arched...
