I replacing rear brakes and I ordered some 1 and .5 mm shims from
McMaster Carr that are used to gain better contact between the shoe
and the drum.  I think I am to use about 3mm on each side.   However,
I'm not certain where I'm supposed to be putting the shims.  At the
bottom of the brake there is an open v-shaped piece that seems the
logical place.  However, the shims do not want to fit over the slotted
pieces.  The shims are the ones recommended by Dennis Haynes.  Anyone
know how to get these things in place?

Thanks in advance,
