Ok.

I'll plead ignorant to all this. It's been a while since I've pulled the

Does that spacer go between backing plate or shoe at pin in centre of shoe,
or somehow (can't imagine) at end of shoe at anchor?

My gut tells me it goes between the latter to bring bottom "curve" of shoe
out more so it contacts drum better but...
