As someone else mentioned, I've seen some backplates that were significantly
worn where the shoes rest on them.
I also once had the pleasure of owning a TR3A with the adjustable shoe posts
(10" Girling) that made an odd but rather loud 'clunk' every time I took off
from a stop sign. Took me a long time to realize that the posts were worn
until the pads were no longer square with the drums ... the clunk was the
shoes falling back onto the posts as the brakes released. Specifically it
took until the shoes wore out on one edge first ...
