New cylinders are notorious for having too narrow of slots. I file the slit wider to fit, thinking that with regular driving and maintenance, I should be replacing shoes more than wheel cylinders.

That’s exactly it. But sanding the shoe is pretty quick too.Man I really don’t want to take a file to the new cylinders. @Skreddy is your reasoning because you will have to file down every subsequent set of shoes you throw in rather than filing down the slots once and be done with it for eternity?
I might just take a mm off both sides of the raised spot on the shoes unless someone tells me that’s a bad idea.
No idea, i went to rear discs long ago.@Pighead any idea off the top of your head if OEM shoes for our 55’s are available? Just thought I’d ask even though I’m gonna call first thing tomorrow
