If there is a signifficant difference in diameter (wear) between the drums there will, along with the brake shoe adjustment, be a difference in brake effect. If the brake shoes are adjusted close to the drum, most of the friction material will have contact with the drum when the brake is activated. If the shoes are far from the drum, you will have a long brake pedal travel, and only the top of the friction material (closest to the brake cylinder) will have contact with the drum. This will of course result in less brake effect. Read more here:

If your brakes are ok now, I guess you are just lucky :wink:


(ps: The T3 has a self-adjusting mechanism for the brake shoes, but this rarely work after 20+ years...)
