Should have a "primary and secondary" shoe on each wheel.
One is longer(secondary) than the other.
The short shoe goes toward the front longer to the rear,

on M37s all 4 shoes should have the same length material. if someone relined them at some point they may have done a primary and secondary by mistake. that is pointless with fixed anchor brakes. cant hurt anything but stock should all be same length.

We have new shoes for M37 in stock, or we can reline your core shoes. Buying new is the better deal unless you need a special lining thickness due to worn or turned drums. We can rivet on whatever you need.
