Smitty says:  Bob you are going to have to buy your shoes at a vendor who
gives your moneys worth.  I just walked out to the garage and measured
the lining on a new set of "arced" shoes which measured .215.  How we go
about getting the drum on is not under discussion here.  Was not the .168
someone quoted from the manual a minimum recommendation and not a new
dimension?
        If I am all wrong then don't bother to tell me about it.  I'm
sure my wife will tell me that before the day is out.
