B r a k e Shoes. If the brake adjuster has been fully taken up, the brake shoe linings
must be changed. Do not pack the heel of the shoe in an endeavour t o make an
adjustment. New linings and rivets can be purchased from
a
Triumph Dealer, but
if the owner wishes, he
can
exchange the brake shoes for a re-conditioned set at
very little extra cost. If the old brake shoes are t o be used for further service,
inspect the rivet heads as these must be below the surface of the lining. Rivets
which show signs of contact with the brake drum can be lowered by using a suitable
round punch. Support the shoe
a t
the point where the rivet
is
t o be knocked down.
