Hi Richard,
Don't I recall that your shoe linings were a little too thick and you hand finished them with a sander or something? As Rob says, remove the drum now to see the face of the shoes to check how much contact area you have. Did you renew the hub oil seals?
Another problem with new type lining material is that it is not like asbestos where you could bed them in quick, this stuff will not bed in quickly and can glaze if you try to.

regards, Richard
