<VV> Equal length Brake shoes

[UltraMonzaWest@aol.com]

I never tried running shoes like this, and I wouldn't. Drum brakes are
self-energizing, but I believe that with the same length linings on both
shoes, they would NOT be. Pedal effort would be greatly increased. Lining
length is critical, my experience with other cars indicates, and that is
both absolute AND relative length.

That is correct....but if they are "bonded" [glued]  just trim off the excess 
on the one...
