rear shoes - which way?

just bought a new set (of 4) shoes for the 2000 sportspack, as you know, the shoes are not symetrical, ie one end has part of the material missing. - is this the leading edge or the trailing edge? ie do i put the "missing" part of the shoe so the drum hits that first, or the drum leaves on that part? (if that is clear) ive been looking in haynes and another manual and the pictures are not clear.

Well for a clear manual, you really should get hold of this book:-

every Mini owner who carries out servicing and work on their car shouldhave one. Well it makes a great partner for the Haynes manual, but thepictures are far clearer and more detailed too. Okay it doesn't cover theMPI Mini's (after 1996) as such, but Twin-Points are only slightly differentto other injection Mini's, so there's plenty in this book that's relevant toyou too!

And if you own an older mini, you will definitely need a service manual.

Right, the clearest diagram I have seen for putting the rear shoes on is in the Metro Haynes manual (No 718) on page 114 Fig 9.3. You can't go wrong if you look at that.

If you dont have it what it basically says is that the part of the shoe with some friction material missing is the leading edge of each shoe. If you want me to email you the page pls say.

The metro haynes is much better that the mini one for some of the identical parts/setups and is well worth keeping handy alongside your mini one.
