rich you could just put the good shoes on the leading edge and the bad ones trailing, then do war and peace and worry about faffing around getting it right after the show when things have calmed down a bit and are back to normal.
I think I have a set of good spare shoes in a truck axle I could bring to the show as a plan B.
the most important thing is to not get too caught up with getting it perfect and just enjoy the show.

Rick, the shoes are not the same as any truck ones as far as I know.

Well it's do or die for me, any pads that go in those drums as they are will be destroyed rather quickly... So as long as the company can get the shoes turned around in time we might yet win...

The drums look like they will take 1/16 to make good, that added onto what has alread been taken off will mean the shoes need to be 1/4 over sized. Looking closer at the shoes that are in, they have a shim behind them which for the better part is heavily corroded.

Stress is through the roof at the moment everything is prepped up for Monday... Found out last night my engine covers won't be done either which has been a kick to my guts as I won't have time to make any now....

Each step carefully after the last. Engine covers won't stop it going.
See you there!
