are these shoes interchangable? specifically will hg shoes fit a hq?
cheers

From memory HK/T/G and HQ front drum shoes are the same as well.
Actually I seem to remember that the whole assembly is the same bar the hub and drum.
The rear Hk/T/G shoes are the same as HQ onwards rears as long as they came from a drum braked front car if they came from a disc brake front car they are different.
As they run a smaller wheel cylinder that does not have the same push rod assemblies.
Cheers Paul.

Forgot about the early disc braked cars.

As paul has said the HQ rear shoes are the same as long as the HG is a 4 wheel drum car. These are also used on HQ to WB where all rear shoes are the same regardless of whether they have drum or disc at the front. The HK/T/G rears had unique shoes to suit the smaller rear cylinders used on disc brake cars.

To quote Bendix part numbers

BS1336 = HK/HT/HG/HQ/HJ front drum shoes
BS1338 = HK/HT/HG rear shoes (suits cars with front discs)
BS1337 = HK/HT/HG rear shoes (suits car with drum front)
BS1337 = HQ/HJ/HX/HZ/WB/LH L34 rear shoes (all rear drum brakes)
