<VV> Oversize brake shoes

[Rick Norris]

Speaking of arcing shoes, I had that done to my racing brake shoes last 
year. It took me awhile to find a garage that even knew what I was talking 
about much less one that actually had the machine to do it! It was an old 
guy who used to race dirt cars and had a small garage here.
He had to literally dig the equipment out of some other junk and clean it up 
before he could do the job. He seemed rather happy to be doing it. Said he 
couldn't remember the last time he did one either.
