I also have the drums skimmed internally and then the linings skimmed
to give a 100% contact. I did this to my BN2 for racing years ago. I
found the resultant increase in braking efficiency was remarkable.
I've since done it to my 3000.
While you're at it, considering having your brake drums externally
machined to make them perfectly balanced. That tip was given to me by
Patrick Quinn.

I have never bought new brake shoes but always have them relined then
skimmed to match the drums they'll be running in perfectly for minimum
bedding in time.

A friend is replacing rear brake shoes on a 56 BN2 and is unable to
get
them through Moss (apparently they were caught in customs and won't be
delivered for a few weeks). Does anyone have a good alternative
suggestion?
Thanks,
Phil
