1939 ish girder front brake

Post by klaus gerhard »

I have a 1939 ish front wheel but lacked the brake shoes for it. The brake plate is of the floating type. I recently found a pair of 7" steel brake shoes and one has the cutout for the speedo drive. All looks good but the flat on the shoes is too wide. It measures 19,5mm whereas the the cam is only 1/2" wide. Should I machine the shoes to fit the cam or find a different cam. See pictures.
Thanks for your advice
Regards Klaus
