My motor has a 9 inch rear drum, the width is definitely 20mm of the shoe but when I ordered sip shoes for drum with interior 135mm from beedspeed eBay even though on the packet it says it's for 135mm drum it seems like it's the wrong size? is it normal to have that much gap? I'm worried once it wears the metal will hit the drum. Or maybe they messed up my order like the 3rd time this week

Wrong shoes. The radius of the shoe should match that of the drum and they should nest together almost perfectly.

Look like PX PK brake shoes from here.

Probably need these

Jack guessed it, must be PK shoes.
These are brand new PK shoes that pivot on a single post.

These are old shoes for this brake drum that pivot on on separate posts.

If the ends of your new shoes look like the shiny ones here, they are PK shoes.

Beedspeed gave me the wrong order and they are denying it, saying it will "wear in", they where meant to be vespa 50 shoes but have me pk ones instead
