Thank you for adding your findings, As you probably know it is an old thread and I did just go to an auto shop and they had some in stock but i don't recall if they were like the original or the longer knurls, but they went in and wheels went on and problem was solved.
Only issue now is with ...

So people better get in early or it is possible to miss out.

All Holden day is on it's way again, a great day out and it is getting bigger every year with over 300 cars in 2017.
Hope you make it and have a great day, Please save the brochure image and share it around.

Well,,,,,,, I have removed all the rear brakes and replaced them with the bias reversed and also checked the shoes to the drums and they look perfect,, but no change in the original problem,,,

I then decided to just sit there and fiddle with it like a little kid and in doing that discovered that ...

ok so sounds like my bias is back to front,, Ill reverse them over the weekend, thanks Craig,,,

Well I just had another look at my brakes and the shoe on the front side of the brake assembly is biased toward the top centre so it would appear that the shoes are on in the correct way ??? well I will continue with my plan to pull them all apart over the weekend and reassemble them and hope for ...

ok Thanks Craig, I will check that, I am going to pull both sides off and shuffle the shoes around to get the bias of the linings as it has in the diagrams above,
I am sure this is my problem, I think I have mixed up and put a left and right side together on each side. but I will definitely check ...

Thanks for that Craig,, I have never heard of getting the shoes shaved to suit the drums,, who does this,, would most brake places do that,,,,
I have never heard of anyone doing that, is this a national secret to getting them to work right haha,, I'll look into it thanks Craig

Yes Trev they are in there, Unlike the Torana I am also doing this type don't have the small rods that come out they just have the flat plunger that comes out against the shoe

I can't believe it,, I think the first picture might just tell the story,, I wonder if the shoes are mixed up, I don't think the leading edges are biased like the diagram,,,
Well I will have to pull both sides apart and have a shoe shuffle,, thank to you both and Ill let you know how it goes ...

Well I went and spoke to the Brake specialists and they have no idea, need to see it,
I'm not sure if that might not just be an auto response,
Well I think I will pull it all apart at some stage soon and put it all back together again
and see if that makes any difference some how,,
Also ...

I have assembled the rear brakes on the FB, its a HR diff and its all gone together quite well BUT,,
I found the drum was hard to get off on one side and when I got it off one of the clips fell out that hold the shoe back,
I then found that the plate/bracket (B in the picture) that rests on to the ...

HR Diff complete, I am looking for a complete HR diff or housing, axles, Diff centre not important,
I would prefer in S.A. within 50 km of Adelaide but will consider further out if nothing shows up closer,
