Great informative video, I didn't see whether you did this or not (and I know that some don't deem it necessary) but when I've fitted new linings I usually take the shoes outside into the open air and file a chamfer on the leading end of the lining, this helps to stop the linings grabbing when the brake is applied, especially on new linings.. Of course this is more important on a front brake where in some instances a grabbing brake could lead to you losing the front end at a crucial moment (i.e.. on loose gravel at a junction or a patch of ice) and even if the brake does grab initially it will usually 'run in' eventually..
Great tip thank you. I will definitely go back in and do that this week. She’ll be off the road for a short while anyway because I need to inspect the piston rings

Good job.
I am surprised those rivets were as long as they were. I have the riveting tool for these kind of rivets, what you did was perfect.
Another outstanding job sir.
Impressively done 👏👍👌

So you literally have to be a blacksmith to fix these bikes...
