So I managed to find an obscure thread on another forum where several members had ran into this same problem after rebuilding their 14BFF 13” drum brakes. Apparently, it was noticed that the front lining is supposed to be the thicker lining, even though normally it is also the shorter lining. After swapping the thin/short shoe to the rear and putting the thick/long shoe to the front, they all reported the issue to be solved. Thoughts or opinions on this?
