I got the impression that the drum has thicker material, not necessarily
larger in diameter or wider.
That would tell me the original shoes will fit.

Dennis recommends dealer shoes for the best fit and function.

Nah, but really..... Did I ask a stupid question? Are the shoes used on the
SA drums (larger drums) any diferent than the OEM drums found on say a 2wd
85 vanagon?

I thought hush puppies would bark ratern than squeal?

Thanks,
Tony
