John,
Each wheel has a leading and trailing shoe. They're different from each other. But the leading shoe is the same front and rear, and the trailing shoe is the same front and rear.

Thanks Rob , yes I’m aware of the primary & secondary lining lengths . I’ve been having a hell of a time with my front right brakes locking on particularly after a period of non use ,more so in the cooler weather .I’ve done everything . What ever you suggest it’s been done . The latest try is change brake drums over .right to left . It’s a long problem , it was there prior to Toowoomba: & Canberra . Refurbished wheel cylinders . Lines ok . Linings clean .& thickness correct . Always the R/H front . & savage locking on till a lot of running up & down the drive gets it right & fit for the road . So linings correct length the shoes are all ok front or back .I’m so desperate I’ve picked up front & back shoes with linings from Brakebonders with correct thickness linings matching my drums . There no = N1175 cheers John

So as I mentioned earlier I changed the front brake drums over to opposite sides & haven’t driven the car for several days & the cooler weather is starting . a sure fire recipe to lock up the front r/h brake . At first touch of the brake pedal . Surprisingly they worked perfectly. I’ve done everything except change the drums over to date , it will take a lot more good first starts to convince me that was the problem& why . Cheers ,John
