Default Handbrake issue escort rst s2

Hi again folk.
Still having hand brake issues. Been told I have purchased all the correct parts.

Handbrake adjusted fully up, lever in brake drum maxed out, adjuster fully up and I can still remove drum with ease still 6mm clearance from brake shoes. Can anyone tell me the length of rear brake shoes leading and trailing, I think they have sent wrong brake shoes
